I'm more of a Solo artist right now.
Why this name?
I just picked it to put my songs on here.
Do you play live?
I live in Salmon Arm, BC. It is beautiful, but I'm moving soon to be closer to family.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think more artists are getting exposure but fewer people will make huge dollars on CDs
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably, if I could keep creative control and not have someone manipulating me to the image they want me to be.
Your influences?
Everything from B.B. King to Hendrix, Colin James to Van halen. Mostly Blues influenced Rock like Chuck berry, AC/DC, and The Tradgically Hip. A little bit of Funk (Parliment Style) and Jazz.
Favorite spot?
Southern Oregon. If I wouldn't have to live under the tyranny of George's Administration and if family wasn't so far from there I would move in a heartbeat. In one spot you are close to mountains, plains, beaches, redwoods and sand dunes and it's pretty warm but not as hot as California.
