My parents chose the name.

I play live in a band called Off The Wagon that plays bar-band music.

It only helps open people up to more music than Was ever available and it makes it easier for those without much performing experience to be heard.

Of course.

I began playing guitar at the age 15 after years of interest in both guitar and writing. I was self taught for 6 months before deciding to take lessons. Early on I began studying the blues and it's been the basis for all my learning so far. However, I am formally trained in jazz guitar, and I would have to say that it does influence my playing to a certain degree. I started becoming interested in writing popular music a few years ago and I feel that I'm getting to the point where it can be marketable.

My biggest influence would have to be the music of the Allman Brothers Band. Duane Allman, Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks have all in some way influenced both my playing and my singing. Other influences include Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Freddie King, Mike Mattison, etc...and a small range of funk influences

I would have to say either Baltimore MD, Charleston SC, or right here at home in Boynton Beach FL
