ABOUT

I Love music. Been playing and singing my entire life. Sticker shock I'm 59 years old but I take good care of myself.I even still have some hair on my head. lol
I've played professionally part time since I was 15 to age 45 as I've always had a day job and children to support. I've put a handful of bands together through the years some big production and quite successful cover and original. I write music now and record in my home based studio. I'm open to playing Gigs but am really looking for writing and recording partners. To me bands are all about working behind the scenes as well as on stage, chemistry between members, practice, rehearsals and being able to venture outside one's creative comfort zone all while having a great time.

Influences

I'm a Rocker primarily and skill wise however I personally never met music I can't like. Its all about definitions I suppose... In the 90s our set lists consisted of our own music, Journey, RUSH, Pink Floyd, Boston, Kansas, ZZ Top, Uriah Heep, The Producers, Queen, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin, Heart, The Allies the list goes on and on you name it we probably played it. lol

I'm as dedicated as the band can justify, in other words if we have something that's brilliant I'll be there till the end. I don't believe I've ever been in a band that didn't last at least 5 years but most were 10 or more years together.
