ABOUT

I have experience playing a wide variety of music {jazz, vintage rock, progressive rock, pop, funk, blues, country, gospel, bluegrass, an interesting drum gig for a Turkish belly dancer}. I am a singing drummer rather than a drumming singer. I spent a decade on the road and many years in town playing clubs, shows, resorts, weddings, corporate functions.
