ABOUT

Been playing in Bars around the state (I-5 Corridor mostly) since 1986 mostly cover bands, have a huge song vocabulary. Neil Peart or Danny Carey I am not but I can play most anything I've heard. Quick study if I haven't heard it before. I took a year off as of Sept. 22... Just got burned out after 12-13 years of straight gigging. Looking for low pressure thing to ease back into things and knock the rust off. I have done all the booking for my bands for the last 20years. I also do promo videos. Can sing some lead and always sing back-up vocals.
