ABOUT

I look and always have looked much yourger than I really am. I have played with bands on Bourbon St in New Orleans for 1 1/2 years, now in Austin, TX. The New Orleans I knew is gone after Katrina. I mostley play rock and blues. Funk and R&B as well, some raeggae, some country, some swing, dixieland, smooth jazz, 2nd line, old time blues, cajun, and zydico. I know big band charts, write my own charts, and now practice in the studio where I live when not performing.
I have a music degree and television production degree, and I have good transportation for my drums.
I'm looking for a concert situation with recording and club dates. I have played with well known San Francisco and LA studio players.
