Classically trained, I realized improvisation was my true passion when I began playing jazz and folk. My forte is backing up singer-songwriters and collaborating on original music. I also perform Celtic and jazz regularly and love playing all types of fiddle. Confident music and chart reader, with a great memory and expert at learning fixed parts, coming up with new ones or improvising.
