This is the place where I put my solo music projects. I have a lot of different musical likes and it shows in the music I write--anything from Acid Jazz to Blues/Funk, to hard rock to classical and more experimental music. I am currently with two different bands; The Fabulous Shitheads and All Axcess. The Fabulous Shitheads have been together for 23 years and attained a regional cult status in the early 90's playing horn based classic rock, blues, and Motown covers with a lot of colorful on stage antics thrown in. All Axcess is a recent formation only being together since the 1st of 2007. All Axcess plays a wide variety of music--everything from Headeast to Jerry Jeff Walker.
Why this name?
It's my name.
Do you play live?
I currently play with The Fabulous Shitheads and All Axcess. Both bands are based in Wichita, KS.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
On the positive side, I think it has allowed people who would normally never had the chance to have their music heard the opportunity to have world wide exposure and that's pretty cool.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably, but I'm a little undecided.

Jean Luc Ponty, Chic Corea, Jan Hammer, Mike Finnagen, Miles Davis, ELP, Bach, Beethoven
