ABOUT

Former touring musician in Florida, Southwest Texas, and California. Former student of Dave LaRue (Bassist for Joe Satriani, the Steve Morse Band, John Petrucci, the Dixie Dregs and others) and Perry Stern (Bassist for LO and DeadMens Dreams). I started playing again about 15 years ago. Enjoy playing original music, classic 60's & 70's rock as well as contemporary Southern Rock, Blues, R & B, and especially Motown. Also enjoy playing newer covers by Evanescence, Saraya, Beth Hart, Incubus, Sass Jordan, Alanis Morisette and other relatively contemporary artists (Bands with dual male\female lead vocalists). Formerly with the band Peace (Vintage Rock\Covers), Kingstreet (Original\Southern Rock\Blues--Google: Kingstreet Band Promo.flv-You Tube), and the Intruders featuring Dalton Powell (drummer for The Bobby Fuller Four--I fought the law). I can travel. Contact: Michael at 805-904-3157.
