ABOUT

I've got a full fledged release and other stuff waiting for a solid female voice to take some of the heat off me in live performances. I play lead and sing lead, but it's sometimes a slog. It's nice to have someone to split up the duties and sound off of. Other players are waiting.
Check out the originals and unique cover arrangements. Most of which are played by myself only.

I am influenced by all I see and hear. Bird songs, sirens, industrial noises... there is a constant soundtrack in my head and I've stopped listening to much radio or TV. I think for inspiration to come, you need to clear your head or to at least cleanse your pallette...

EQUIPMENT

Guitar rigs, upright bass, 1965 prototype Fender Rhodes, Hammond organ with 10 various leslies for various uses, festival size PA, ACOUSTIC, hand percussion, electric bass, keys, guitar synth, fully stocked production studio with pro macs, tube mic pre's, 1963 Ludwig 6 piece, 1966 Roger's 5 piece dynasonic, lights, tons of mics, etc.1969 Fender Sparkle-top Rhodes,
Check out the first video below. I'm playing a 70s strat with vintage p/u's augnented wiith peizo ghost pickups and synth system, with 3-way line buffers that are mixable into a 16 pedal board, split between a 147 Leslie and a 1960 Magnatone Troubadour with day-glo paisley grill.
In the studio I play my own tracks exclusively. A number of the works that I have recorded have gone on to become major label releases. That is to say that I have put out national label recordings with pretty much just myself on the tracks.
When I was growing up I really didn't do much besides practice and play music, Record music, Collect music, And I also made a decent living as a vintage instrument collector and record collector.
My skills are lucrative in the sense that i'm an expert in restoration of a lot of vintage instruments that people have no clue how to restore.
I'm an expert piano and Hammond organ technician, But I also am hired to play and or repair or tech one any number of other instruments or disciplines.
I'm not trying to brag Or gloat... It's just the reality of the situation. My band that I've assembled from crack players around the area have backed up national acts and even done limited touring behind national acts.
There is much much more to this story... But only will tell so much to strangers, But I will tell a friend everything.
