SEEKING

ABOUT

Specializing in the sounds of 'Heavy' organ driven Classic Hard Rock ala Deep Purple, Santana, Vanilla Fudge, Uriah Heep, Steppenwolf, Procol Harum, Rascals. I play a unique, customized, over the shoulder keyboard 'rig'. Am able to duplicate the exact tones from famous recordings of Hammond B-3. Also get 60's Combo Organ sounds (think Doors, Monkees, Iron Butterfly, Animals). Have the chops to pull off some blazing stuff.
On the business side... I am mature, sober, and business-minded. Have good contacts to get bookings and understand marketing and promotion.

EQUIPMENT

Heavily hot-rodded software driven Custom Organ Rig running through a Marshall half stack that enables me to faithfully replicate the authentic tones of the all the big B3, C3, tones and even Transistor Organs (Vox and Farfisa) from those famous original recordings.
Plus, a rare 88 note piano that delivers the authentic tones of traditional Grand Pianos, Electric Pianos (both Rhodes & Wurlitzer), Clavinet, even the old DX7 piano sound.
I run this piano through a Digi-Tech RP 1000 effects pedal board and it gives me tones not typically associated with keyboards.
I have 2 other 'boards that give me Strings, Horns, Vibes, & more.
Behringer 4 channel keyboard practice amp.
Vocoder and Digi-Tech Vocalist Live 4.
A bunch of other 'Toys' for vocals and processors and stuff.
