ABOUT

I'm up for a job in Jackson, TN and may be relocating. So I'm looking there as well as central KY.

Equally comfortable and experienced on guitar or bass, electric or acoustic on either. I don't mind picking up some mandolin, keys or drum parts on occasion. Pro gear all around.

Mostly a Memphis/Chicago/Detroit blues, classic rock, Memphis soul, British rock player. Folk, Irish rebel music, Motown, big band... all good.

I'm really not a country, southern rock or metal guy though... I don't listen to those, can't relate to them. Just not my thing and there are others who love and play that music way better than I can fake.

Veteran of Boston, NY, Vegas, Memphis and Central KY music scenes over the decades.
