SEEKING

ABOUT

Do you need a harp player to sit in for a few numbers at your gig or to lay a soulful track for the song you’re recording? Maybe you’re just jamming and want to know what a well-payed harmonica can do for your sound. Well I’m that guy!

I have about 30 yr's. experience with the harp. Whether it’s Blues, Classic Rock, Country and Bluegrass.
I love putting a new twist on an old favorite. I also enjoy collaborating with the right songwriter.

EQUIPMENT

I mostly play Yonbergs. But have several Seydels, Hohner Rockets and Special 20s. I have a few chromatics and a set of Suzuki Promasters for certain applications and moods. (Like guitars, a man can never have too many) I work with a custom cordless bullet mic and split the signal between two vintage tube amps with a delay pedal.

I have a small portable P.A./monitor system, & mics/stands., a couple of guitars, a banjitar, marimbula, and several harmonicas in almost any key imaginable and amps/pedals etc. I also have a bass guitar, several amps, a cigar box guitar, (and yes, a washtub bass).
