SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I originate from California, USA , lived Calgary, AB (Canada) and now calls Nashville “home”. I started his musical journey as a violinist but traded that in for the guitar in my early teens. Original influences were bands like Van Halen, Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden and then artists like Jeff Loomis/Nevermore, Marty Friedman, Children of Bodom and Paul Wardingham.
A fondness for melodic but challenging music propels my approach to songwriting with the mindset that ability should never be a limitation. Prior to Red Cain, I played live extensively for and released a full length with Calgary band The Promethean Labyrinth. I joined Red Cain during the fall of 2016. " In 2017, Red Cain received a YYC Music Award for Best New Recording.
