ABOUT

Former NYC drummer now living in Rockledge. I've been very fortunate to have had a wide range of live and studio situations, playing a wide range of musical styles and in varying band sizes. Was the MD of many of the bands I've played in. I've worked with many great musicians over the years playing everything from straight ahead jazz, fusion, funk, r&b, pop, rock, metal, blues, Americana, and old school country. I've done bar gigs, booze cruises, hotels, festival-size shows (Woodstock 1999 emerging artist stage), I’ve had originally composed music used for programming on MTV and much more. Easy to work with, hard working and a quick study. I'm 100% about supporting the music. I'm ALWAYS sober at rehearsal and gigs and usually the first to arrive. I'm looking to join a band to make some head and ass-shakin' music. I’m open to any style of music/band configuration as long as the music is good.

As for vocals, I'm a tenor. I can sing lead/back up as needed.

Will send links to other music I'm associated with if interested.
