ABOUT

Looking for Like minded musicians to collaborate with. Available for Studio/Recording Projects, or if you have material and need someone to lay down the vocals, hit me up.

Currently Guitarist with ……. Mistreated, POP*ROCKS, and Lead Singer for Silent Lucidity (Queensryche Tribute).

I am a rhythm guitarist and vocalist with some lead guitar capabilities. I also play bass, and some keys. I have been playing for 35 years, and have been in professional original acts, cover bands and and currently with the longest running Queensryche Tribute.

I have been a lead vocalist for many years, but am getting back to my roots, as a guitar player with backing vocals. Open to playing....Rock, Metal, Pop, & Rock/Pop Fusion. Sorry, have no interest in classic rock, jazz or Blues.

I have enough guitars to accommodate alternate tunings.
