ABOUT

I'm a straight up rock guitar player who's a bit of a jack-of-all-trades (and master of none!). I play lead/rhythm/acoustic, sing a bit as well as play some bass and keyboards. Been in a few bar bands and gig'ed out - usually on lead but comfortable doing rhythm and/or sharing leads. Even do a semi-acoustic solo gig as "Simply Me" from time-to-time. Rooted in up-beat rock classics but really enjoy straying into modern rock or even blues/country to mix it up. Lots of 80's influence but not flashy, no ego - just in it for the fun and playing out on occasion (got career, family, etc). Mostly enjoy covers but have written/performed plenty of originals as well as a "quick study" at learning other peoples material. Drug free, no drama, team player, reliable, good communicator and no fear attitude in terms of song selection and playing out in front of a crowd!
