ABOUT
I am currently taking some time off from playing in a band to focus on providing live sound assistance to bands for weddings and corporate events.
I have also done some fill in gigs for the Bulletproof Band (Modern Country).
I most recently played in a Modern Country band called Backyard Swagger. We played a lot of Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, The Band Perry, Maggie Rose, Jason Aldean, Sugarland, etc. Most songs were sung by our female lead singer, however I sang lead on songs like:
"Cruise" by Florida Georgia Line
"Boondocks" by Little Big Town
"Boys are Back in Town" by Thin Lizzy
"American Girl" by Tom Petty
"American Kids" by Kenny Chesney
"You and Tequila" by Kenny Chesney
"Play it Again" by Luke Bryan
"Long Stretch of Love" by Lady Antebellum
"Lonely Tonight" by Blake Shelton
"Mean to Me" by Brett Eldridge
"It Goes Like This" by Thomas Rhett
"You Look Good in My Shirt" by Keith Urban
"Get Your Shine On" by Florida Georgia Line
"Who Says You Can't Go Home" by Jon Bon Jovi
"She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" by Kenny Chesney
"The Devil Went Down to Georiga" by the Charlie Daniels Band
"You Look Good" by Lady Antebellum
"Home Alone Tonight" by Luke Bryan
"The Fighter" by Keith Urban
"I Love This Life" by LoCash
I also spent a couple of years playing with the Jennifer Tefft Band (original alt rock).
I also used to play in an 8 piece horn band called Milk Street Station (now known as Wicked Betty & the Bad Habits Band). They do a variety of soul and pop music from the 70's to today.
Before all of that I had been working with The Hootchies (now known as Northern Fried Revival for 10 years. We did a mix of southern rock, classic rock and jam band music like the Doobie Brothers, the Allman Brothers, the Grateful Dead, Phish, Santana, The Doors, etc.
I also fill in occasionally with other bands like Random Numbers. They play a lot of 80's and 90's rock with some '70's like "The Boys are Back in Town" by Thin Lizzy.
I am a graduate of Berklee College of Music (1990) MP&E.
