I am an experienced, pro with 25 years of gigging and studio work. I'm looking for a working band that wants to add a harp player that knows when and what to play and can solo, play backup or be silent. Unlike many people who say they play the harmonica I play diatonic harp clean or dirty, loud or soft and can play blues, classic rock, country and even some jazz. The harmonica is my sole instrument and I can collaborate with any good guitar player. I'm not about ego, but the collective sound of a band that has great dynamics and professionalism.

Influences
I studied under the great Dick Powell in Seattle and have also studied with David Barrett in the Bay area. My influences include all the Chicago blues greats including little Walter and junior wells, but I'm also a student of John Popper, Rick Estrin, Marc Ford, Charlie McCoy and many others. I've learned something from every decent harp player no matter the genre.
