Vocalist, Violin, Lead Guitar, Harmonica, Drums, Bass Guitar.ABOUT
Hi -- I am a seasoned keyboardist with pretty good chops. I have been influenced greatly by great B3 players like Jimmy Smith, Felix Cavaliere and Robert Lamm. My style is to back the band with whatever sound is needed, from piano -- to strings -- to B3. I do backing vocals (alto and falsetto) and have great stage presence. In short, I like to entertain.
My motto performing live,"never acknowledge an errant note unless there are many...then it's jazz"!!
