I play a Epiphone SG Special Electric Guitar through a Crate Combo Amp with various effects pedals for the guitar parts. For everything else I am using a Yamaha PSR 273 Keyboard, although sometimes I use a Ernie Ball SUB for the bass parts. The vocals are done by myself.

All of the compositional work is performed by the Clover Park Jazz Band, directed by Dennis Dearth. The current instrumentation is 6 saxophones, 4 trumpets, 1 trombone and rhythm section.

I used to be in a pop-punk band called Risk 26. http://www.purevolume.com/risk26
