Veteran guitarist/vocalist. I have extensive stage and studio experience as both a frontman and a sideman. I can cover both lead vocals and all guitar work -rhythm and lead. I also play harmonica and bass. I was formally trained as a jazz guitarist (classic jazz, gypsy jazz, swing). However, the bulk of my experience has been playing rock and roll and blues, which is the other side of my playing. I have extensive experience playing in metal, hard rock and blues outfits. I've also played in rockabilly and psychobilly groups.
