ABOUT

I am a versatile guitar player with a great ear and feel styles easily. I can flat, hybrid or finger pick. You tell me the song and the style you are looking for, I'll do the rest. I work from charts, memorize, improvise. I'm a first class harmony singer.
Moderate studio experience, full time roadwork (Dicso/Top 40) until I was 30, and various rock, country, light jazz, folk/acoustic and cover bands, one-night gigs since.
I play with John Elvis Lyons' Jailhouse Hound Dogs, occasionally with Practice in Public (Johnny Paradise), and every Sunday with Saved, the Contemporary Christian band at St. Matthew Lutheran Church, Hawthorn Woods, IL
