ABOUT

I have been playing various types of music with as many players since I was 11 years old and have lived and learned from them all. Sometimes, I have even been able to give a little something back. I love playing in an unplugged acoustical setting but am just as comfortable playing at rattling levels. I do not consider myself a front man but have continuously been asked to sing lead for many years. I am just as comfortable filling harmony rolls as well.
Would like to meet up with a few local players for non-commitment jams and see where it goes. I am not an artist and do not write. Seems I never got that gift, but I can improvise.
