ABOUT

i have lots of experience playing guitar with zydeco bands. have gigged on guitar with zydeco, reggae, r&b, folk/rock, Cajun, Americana, Gospel bands. mostly Zydeco and R&B.

I am told that i am very good on rhythm. i can play a little lead .

i have a pretty good ear.

i can sing backup vocals and know how to harmonize.

i have some experience playing drums mostly blues, swamp blues, cajun, new orleans r&b, a little rock and roll. not fancy but i stay in the pocket.
i can play bass but not a seasoned bass player. because i have a sub-woofer, i can learn basslines from records and play by ear. i consider myself "trainable". have played cajun and r&b, swamp, soca, calypso.
