ABOUT

I am an easy going guitar player that can sing backups or half of a three set repertoire. I was the lead guitar player in Rochester Brass and Electric, a wedding party band for 16 years as well as a band called Feedback. Upon moving to Asheville in 2017 I joined a band called Mo-MoJo Blues Band and Crosscut Groove. I have experience with directing and co-directing popular bands that have had over eight members. Enjoy all kinds of music except Rap and Old Country. I have a pro attitude, am a team player, but I am still a student of learning good music. I don't use drugs or drink and get along well with everyone. People will say that I am quiet except when I am stage. I love music from the 60's and 70's, R&B, Motown, Soul, Funk and the Beatles. Looking for a band that is either established or about to be established and would like to gig at least twice per month if not more.
