ABOUT

Now that I’m semi-retired, I’d like to play more than my current band can do.
Looking to meet up with pro-attitude players. I love New Orleans funk, soul, world music, and blues-based rock. I’m not looking to do straight ahead covers or tribute band projects. I like learning new stuff and surprising audiences while keeping them engaged.

Influences

I've picked up a little something from everyone who's ever impressed me with their skill, feel, technique, or sound--from Segovia to Hendrix. I especially love guitarists who make strong musical statements in their solos rather than focus on showing off impressive technique.

Instrument experience:

Rhythm Guitar:: Advanced
Lead Guitar:: Advanced
Acoustic Guitar:: Intermediate
Harmonica:: Intermediate

EQUIPMENT

My current gigging rig includes two guitars made from parts purchased separately, an ES-335, ES-333, a Fender Vibrolux, Princeton Reverb, Hot Rod Deluxe, and a variety of useful gizmos. .
