ABOUT

I have been playing harmonica seriously since 2003. I've had some professional training and been to several "Master Class" group sessions. I play mainly blues but I can also play classic rock, R & B, and even some country. I have been in several bands and played a big variety of music. I'm pretty good at filling in any kind of music. The harmonica is a "color instrument" and should accent the music, not dominate it! I have a "chill" attitude and just want to enjoy playing music with others.

EQUIPMENT

I have boxes full of harmonicas, but I prefer Seydels. I mostly play diatonic but I'm also moderately good with a chromatic. I have a custom boutique "Meteor" amp that really cranks! I use a modified Shure 545 mic and a "bulletini" custom harp mic.
