ABOUT

I was a drummer/vocalist in The Cryan' Shames, a Midwest favorite in the '60s as well as other Midwest bands. I transitioned to acoustic guitar and played folk, bluegrass and country in the '70s and during that time electric guitar/vocals in several blues bands in the Chicago area. I've also done a number of jingles and festivals. I've been a singer almost all my life and have sung in every genre except opera and hip hop.
