ABOUT
I've been playing guitar and singing lead for over 30 years in bands and as a solo artist. I enjoy playing a range of music from acoustic and americana, to alternative and classic rock...and a few of my own songs. I'm currently in a band called Turning Soldier, playing locally in the Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler region. Previously I was in a band for 10 years called the Coin Operated Boys - we played at parties, events, and pubs all over the valley including Saint Patty's day at the Rose & Crown and Fat Willy's. And we played the Zombie Walk downtown 3 years in a row. During that time, I also spent 4 years playing weekly at My Wine Cellar in Ahwatukee. Available for acoustic solo/duo gigs and full rock band events.
