Hey, just a solo artist at the moment, but you never know what the future brings! Drop me a line at decordoba@gmail.com

Occasionally. Love performing, but lugging gear around, not so much.

Indie musicians can produce their own material without corporate influence.

Maybe.

I've been a musician since childhood, starting on violin, and adding guitar, bass and piano. I took a brief (25-year) haitus from performing, while I decided what to do when I grow up.

Way back then, I had plenty of time but no money and little in the way of gear. Now I've got the stuff, but the job, the house, and most importantly, the husband / father gig come first.

Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, David Gilmour, Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton, Gary Moore, Earl Klugh, Michael Hedges, William Ackerman. Also the Rockhouse instructional DVD series.

Any quiet Seattle beach...

Guitars: Ibanez RG320, Ibanez AS73, Ovation CC026. Keyboard: Yamaha P90 digital piano. Violins: Yamaha SV-120 with a Glasser braided carbon fiber bow (these are the BEST), and my old acoustic Dancla outfitted with an Autolycus piezo pickup. I run the string instruments through a Digitech RP-500 Effects Processor and a Boss RC-2 Loop Station. Accompanyment is an Alesis SR-18 drum/bass machine. Sound provided by a Crate XT120R Guitar Amp and a Roland KC-350 Keyboard Amp. Recording done with a Fostex MR-8 Digital Multi-tracker, a 30-year-old Roberts reel-to-reel tape recorder and Audacity computer software. Just picked up a Roland Cube Street, so I hope to do some acoustic picking with the looper in the park sometime...

I grew up in Newport and Ellensburg, Washington.

I'm now on Facebook!
