SEEKING

ABOUT

I've been playing for 40 plus years and have been in many working rock and country bands. I’ve played everything from Johnny Cash to Disturbed. I have studio experience as well.

Update: 03/27/2024 - i currently play with The Anthony Riley Band but may be available If you need a guitar player to fill in for gigs or for studio work. I can play rock, country, blues, etc. I'm very versatile and willing to play pretty much any style of music. If there are songs your band plays that I don't know, I learn very quickly. I've played several "pick up" gigs where I had to learn a lot of music in a very short period of time. I'm responsible, reliable and professional. I have good working equipment and transportation. In other words, I'll be there...on time...and prepared.
