ABOUT
Have played over 4000+ shows in my career with genres that include Celtic, Jam Band, Rock, Alternative, Ska/Reggae, Jazz and even classical. My studio experience is just as vast with over 35 CD's to my credit. While I prefer playing my full kit, I tend to do 30-50 shows a year on percussion as well. Depending on the artist I am backing, my percussion set up changes to better compliment the music. I am also proficient on the Bodhran.
