Influences

Where do I start? I grew up in Kentucky listening to bluegrass music and was heavily influenced by the local musicians when i started playing at 5 years old. Later on I discovered rock and roll. I was always fascinated by Jimi Hendrix, which lead me later to artists like The Pink Floyd, and other classic rock acts with alot of good guitar playing such as Allman brothers, Cream..ect. Around age 12 I discovered my passion for blues and fell in love with the Texas sound. My main influences today are the Bramhalls, SRV, ZZtop, tbirds, and the great bluesmen like Albert King, Albert Collins, Hubert Sumlin ect... In college I studied Jazz for 4 years and came to really apreciate artists such as Coltrain, Parker, and Miles Davis...pretty much anything found in the New Real Book. I'd like to think of myself as having a direction, with versatillity.

EQUIPMENT

Too much to mention it all. I own several strats and teles and fender amps (i'm a vintage collector) I have backup amps for backup amps. I also own a PA setup, as well as a variety of standard stomps and fx ranging from the old Vox v847 wah and ibanez ts9 to more modern gear like the latest stuff from line6.
