ABOUT
I started playing way back in 1970. Currently I am the "house bassist" at ISI Studios in North Augusta, SC. I have literally played on hundreds of session there and I must say I have learned a lot. ISI Studios owner, Gerry Jennings, formed the studio based Plastic Yellow Band about 3 years ago. I am proud to say that I am the bassist for the band. We have released 2 CDs: Sunlight and Above Gravity. At present we have about 9,000 Likes on Fb. The Plastic Yellow Band is a mixture of influences that we grew up with: Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeplin, Queen, Free, and the like. On our website and Fb there are positive reviews from around the world. We recently (Feb 2016) were reviewed in the Huffington Post. On my own I have licensed my original music through Pump Audio for use in television commercials wordwide.
