ABOUT
I've been playing in bands for almost 35 years. My main instrument is the Fiddle. I love old country (Ray Price, Ferron Young, Mel Tillis,) Western Swing (Bob Wills, Asleep At The Wheel, George Strait) and Jazz. I have also worked in bands playing steel guitar, lead guitar, and bass guitar. In 2018 I was one of the Lead vocalists on a Western Swing Tribute album singing "Milk Cow Blues" which is a Bob Wills cover. The album won the Texas Western Swing Album of the year.
