ABOUT

Ramble:

I've been playing guitar for 40 years. I was in a band called the Crackertones for 8 years here in Portland and was privileged to play with some of the best musicians in town like Mike Henke (currently with The Troublemakers) and John Huntsman. We played all around town and billed with some international acts such as the Stood Ups and the Red Elvises and some great local bands like Dry County Crooks and the Erotic Politicians. I'm a blues/rock player. I can play rhythm and lead and sing. I can learn pretty much anything.
