About
Originally from Northern California, I am currently looking to work with an ESTABLISHED, working group in the Atlanta Metro area. I am available to play fulltime. My personal preference is smooth jazz, but I PLAY funk and blues. I also play rock, can play with a little country flavor and gospel. YES, GOSPEL. My early influence was the Memphis STAX sound and got into Wes Montgomery and Howard Roberts around the same time. I later was greatly influenced by Eric Gale.
I started playing professionally in clubs in 1968. I have worked with and shared the stage with many big name performers. I just love to play, it never goes away. I am also a solo guitarist providing background music for private events. I am available to perform and provide music for any upcoming event(s) that your organization might be planning.
