ABOUT

Proficient in most styles. Supporting a strong vocalist, locking in with a solid drummer and/or anything that swings... those are the areas where it feels most like home. My last few projects have included instrumental electric-guitar centered trios in the rock, rock/fusion genres and some jazz-ballad based ensembles. Prior to that, I was backing a female vocalist with keys, violin, cello, guitar and percussion.
