ABOUT

I am a long-time part-time musician, recently relocated from the Baltimore/DC region to NJ. I've played guitar, bass, and other instruments with a few bands you probably never heard of, most consistently and recently with KIVA (.kivasong; s://open.spotify/artist/1o9DLcwuOnOgWfqLKhhslj).

Influences

My influences span generations and continents. Blues and classic rock (60's to 90's) are my guitar wheelhouse, but I'm open to learn, experiment, and mash up genres.

EQUIPMENT

Electric guitars: modded '97 Squier Affinity Strat, Firefly 338 (semi-hollow). Late 90's Yamaha BB fretless bass, Yamaha APX-4A acoustic/electric. Flute, trumpet, recorders and pennywhistles, djembes and other hand percussion. I have a Boss Katana amp for electic guitar and a few cheap pedals; only practice amps for bass at this time. What can I say? I've not been well-paid as a musician, so I make do with cheap gear until such a time as playing might pay for better. If you're not a snob about my gear we can have a lot of fun, or if things look more serious I can upgrade!
