I am a very dedicated artist that has great stage presence. I have carried lead vocals and played bass for a long time. I would like to mainly sing but I do love to play....its about what works best for all involved right? I believe that the greatest gift a "band" can give an audience is a show that is polished and entertaining. I have a genuine love for playing and performing. I have played many instruments over the years but bass has been my favorite. It is essential to any group that the bottom end is strong so the lead instruments can shine. I love a drummer that listens and we can create the bottom end magic!!! It is a team effort. I really do not want to be in any more party bands at all. It is a business, a fun business, but needs to be handled professionally...in my opinion!

Influences
Honestly I am a product of being raised in Michigan the 70's and was influenced by everyone in one form or another! I started out on cello playing typical classical music but loved rock n roll and then I heard The Moody Blues and ELO......ELECTRIFIED CELLO?????? That got my motor runnin for sure! I love to play music that moves the soul...and the feet... JJ Cale, Janis Joplin, Crissy Hinde, BB King, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Ray, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Etta James, Buddy Guy, J. Geils, Blondie,too numerous to list all .... at the risk of sounding just silly....life IS music and it influences me every day in everything I do...yea I said it
