ABOUT

If you're reading this, I hope you managed the pandemic changes okay -- hope it wasn't too much of a burden financially for you working-working musician types. Hope you've doing okay. If you need help, get help. The rest of us music types are pulling for you.

(Back to blurb)

Guitar player. DC burbs type, lots of bands in lots of places. These days living in Darnestown, playing covers with old friends. occasional special projects with right people.

We have day jobs, are happily married, and few bad habits other than enjoying the occasional -- frequent -- tequila. We like to do a show every couple of months (Not so much these days), but won't go on tour anytime soon. If you're super-serious about your music career, musical earnings, or if you want note-perfect covers, I applaud your focus and send you positive energy and luck... But I'm probably not the droid you're looking for..:)

P.S. These Days (2023) playing more acoustic so I don't get home at 3:00am. HWY 117 still gigs, but we're more selective.
