Played drums since I was 16 back in Philly, lived in Florida for 45 years playing with a few different cover bands, both pop, oldies and classic rock.
Currently I enjoy singing originals and covers, and playing harmonica. I use backing tracks to both perform and write my songs. I really enjoy performing at several at the local open mic venues here in the Central Florida area.

Influences
Being a DJ in Florida for 25+ years I've grown to enjoy many different types of music. I especially like listening to country and blues, Grew up in the Philly area with American Bandstand and all of the northeast sounds during the 60's. Now, I mostly listen to country and enjoy so many new and classic country artists. George Strait, Kenny Chesney and Alan Jackson are some of my favorites. Currently available for 2-3 hour gigs at local pubs, eateries, micro breweries, wineries, etc.
