Every show is an adventure. I do this because I love it. There is only one level of energy and preparedness, and that is the complete dedication I bring to every show I have ever played, from stadiums to back-yard parties. Able to improvise over a wide variety of genres, I play what's right for the song and can fill in quickly in the most demanding situations.

Will consider sub or fill in lead shows with little or no rehearsal. I was lead guitarist in the house band at Farm Aid II, playing for over an hour in front of 50k ppl and live on VH1 with no prior rehearsal, filling intros and leads on the spot backing up a parade of Grammy winning artists.

Recent history:
Lead guitar with Luke Pell from ABC TVs The Bachelorette - National recording artist
Lead guitar with James McCoy Taylor from ABC TVs The Bachelorette - National recording artist
Lead guitar with Kris Gordon band Regional touring country artist
