SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm currently a member of Bear Creek Station, along with my long-time collaborator, Dave Kaiser, who co-founded Blind Dog Hopkins with me, along with Bob Lien on bass. I've done solo acoustic work, played in acoustic ensembles and rock & blues band settings. I consider myself a rhythm player first, but can solo and handle vocals.
