Biography:
As a lifelong student of music and a devoted fan; I have had the pleasure of playing in several local bands, managing a jam night and live music venues, working as a roadie and light man, being a DJ, booking bands, attending some legendary concerts and writing and recording with some truly great musicians and wonderful people! I am constantly growing, developing and exploring new styles and sounds. Although I truly enjoy all styles of good music including a catchy pop hook, my heart is in classic rock, country and blues.
I recently had the pleasure of participating in a Master Class with songwriter Andrew Allen, an amazing and positive interactive learning experience!
