ABOUT

I am primarily a bass player. The music samples on this Bandmix page are my original songs. We Saw the Truth and Where's the Time Gone (co-created with Mike Shelton), It's Alright Now (recorded live with 2 Taks Back), and Burnin' Bridges (me on all instruments) are my own compositions. We Saw the Truth is a recent release with Stray Roads and it is one of my original songs co-created with Mike Shelton. It's Alright Now was performed by 2 Taks Back with me on bass and backing vocals. I also usually play all of the instruments on my own songs except drums and I sing all of the vocal parts. In addition to co-creating songs with Mike Shelton under the band name Stray Roads; I also am involved with recording projects around the USA and am always open to recording projects and working with other musicians.

I currently play bass for national recording artist Levi Riggs and as a fill in player for various groups located in Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois.

I have performed with a host of groups that include: Levi Riggs; Joel David Weir; Jake Dodds; Joe Hess; Emerald Field; Christine Kindred (formerly Christine Nicole); Jake and Christine; Jenna Rose; Backroad 39; Jessica Sevier; Amanda Wright; 2 Taks Back; Heroes; Sterling; Timothy Paul; Hot Chance; American Breeze; Conquered Jam; The Fragments; and a few dozen more.

I have recorded with numerous groups in a range of studios located within the upper Midwest. I am also available for recording work with original music projects.

The videos on this bandmix page are releases by Stray Roads and me. See: be, iTunes, iHeart Radio, Spotify, etc. for more song examples of my own music and of music that I've created in collaboration with others.
