Influences
Every one and no one. Songwriters and instrumentalists. People I have heard on albums and any one who I have played with who had something to offer. I am well educated in music theory, production and have 20 years of studio session work as well as years of gigging experience.
In order to give you an idea of who I am musically I need to walk you through my evolution as a human being or perhaps a musical sponge.
My earliest influences were Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Paganini and Liszt because my parents were very into classical music. From my siblings I was influenced with folk, rock and Motown. The list begins with Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, Tommy James, the Moody Blues, Buffalo Springfield, Simon and Garfunkel, Motown and of course the Beatles. My Dad The organist turned me on to E. Power Bigs, Jimmy Smith and Wendy Carlos. The bands of the 70's came and went I was not so into the mainstream pop at the time. I preferred early Metal and Psychedelic Rock(Zeppelin, Nazareth, Black Sabbath, Hawk Wind, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd) and Funk (Parliament, Tower of Power, Taj Mahal) to pop and disco. I did have a breif period where I was into the Sweet, the Hollies and T-Rex though that was called puberty. I always enjoyed the Dead (American Beauty and Mars Hotel especially), Zappa and Carlos Santana. I also listened to Chuck Ainly and Jerry Jeff Walker form Nashville. That era would not be complete without mentioning Paul Simon, Van Halen, Kiss, Aerosmith, the Allman Brothers, Edgar and Johnny Winter, Rick Derringer, Yes, the Guess Who, BTO, and so many more great bands and songwriters. The 80's began with new wave and the birth of hair metal with Ozzy, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, the Scorpions, MSG, Extreme. Bang Tango, GNR, LA Gunz rounded out the decade for me.
