New to the Gold Country from L.A., I've until recently been performing with the Sacramento Brothers at the Powerhouse and the Saddle Rack!
I'm available for fill-ins, casuals, recordings and I'm ready to lend a hand to your country, alt-country, classic rock, pop (anyone in Sac ever hear of Marshall Crenshaw or Buddy Miller fercrineoutloud?) band or project. Need the right drum track for your song or jingle? I will work with you so we all sound great.
Listen to a few cuts , updated regularly, of me singing and playing live with the Shills (pop-roots rock) and the Tavernapples (trad country).

My Yamaha Recording Custom set (the grey one pictured) is for sale. Check the Drum Forum or email me for details.

Influences:

Tom Ardolino, Curly Smith, Albert Bouchard, James Stroud, Gary Mallabar, Dave Mattacks, Tony Braunagel, Prairie Prince, Donald Lindley (RIP), Moonie and all the semi-obscure 70's guys who played on everything cool.
