ABOUT

I have been playing music since I was very young. I started playing piano at age 7, trumpet at age 10, guitar and bass at age 14. I have about 25 relevant years of experience. I have played in several gigging bands but I currently record music at home of my own construction. I am married and have a young son. At home I have a complete studio with digital recording capabilities. I have several demo tapes that go back 20 years. I also have current demo recordings that I can provide to the right person / group. I play mostly rythm guitar and bass with some solo capabilities for a lead guitar position. I have typically acted as the front man for many of the groups I have performed with but do not seek this position. Usually by default I wind up the singer because noone else wants to or can sing so I wind up with the mic. I am currently looking for some folks in my area to get together with, practice with and eventually if things progress, play out with. I do believe deeply that the right bunch of people can create something special.
