First Pro Show at age 12. On tour Pro Jazz at 18. All national acts
Have toured in Country, Classic Rock, 60's/70's reunion band and jazz circuits.
Have been a session player on many national projects and am a signed songwriter in Nashville, TN. Have written hits for a number of national artists in multiple genres. Have co-written a Number 1 record. I am a registered BMI songwriter and music publisher.
Have toured with a too many A list national acts to type here and am proficient on 11 different instruments. I read and write both staff and tab and know the Nashville number system backwards and forwards. In the Charlotte area, I have played in supergroups such as SuperGlide, On the Border, Chris Marks Band, and many others.
Also, I am the bassist and high Tenor singer in the Eagles tribute band "On The Border" based out of Charlotte.
I am the former bassist and Tenor 1 vocalist for the Charlotte Super Group SuperGlide! (The band has now stopped operations after a brilliant 14 year run!)
*** I am currently seeking other professional ONLY musical opportunities in the local market. Must be an established band with production secured and a track record of success in the Charlotte region.*** I strongly prefer a HOT COUNTRY BAND that has EVERYTHING worked out professionally! Again, please no start ups unless you have some national credits please!
