ABOUT

Hey all, rhythm and lead guitar player here that is fairly sick of playing to backing tracks and noodling around by myself in my music room and the urge to jam some high-voltage rock has grown far too strong to be ignored!

I guess what I'm saying is that I just really miss playing awesome music and hanging with some awesome people who have a passion for music.

I've been playing for 25+ years in cover bands mostly, but have written and collaborated on my share of originals as well.

I've played anything from Chuck Berry to Megadeth and everything in between.

My wheelhouse is mostly in the blues/blues-rock/classic-rock/rock/hard-rock genres mostly. I do enjoy the 80s hair-metal very much as well.

Non smoker/420. I do enjoy a frosty beer though.
