ABOUT

I’ve been playing shows since I was 19. Was in a few “successful” local bands…all were signed to a label and either made albums, 7” records or ep’s. I took a break and raised my kids…now that they’re all grown up, I’m ready to continue my musical journey

EQUIPMENT

Lots of guitars, a really loud amplifier, and a cowbell…I like ESP/LTD guitars, EC 1000, Telecaster loaded with two humbuckers. I use a couple of pedals, but don’t depend on them for my sound. Jet City 100 watt all tube amplifier modified by Jeff Downing.
