ABOUT

I started playing drums and piano at age 4, and drums professionally at age 13. Through the years I have had the privilege of sharing the stage with the likes of great musicians such as Little Milton, Malford Milligan, Johhny Winter, and BB King to name just a few. My last band was primarily blues and swing but I am comfortable playing many genres. I played with the same band for more than 10 yrs touring from Key West to San Francisco, so my dependability as a drummer is above the "norm". :)
I am recently divorced so my time can be devoted entirely to a new project. Hope to hear from you soon!!!!
