Why this name?
Well, my Mom chose that for me.
Do you play live?
I do play live. My band plays at Mission Pizza in Fremont - mostly.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
In a heartbeat.
Band History:
My first band was "Radio Daze", a 60's/70's/80's cover band. I was in the blues rock band "Harlow" playing originals and covers in sports bars mostlly. Then I played with the "Tim Ryan Band" - we were also "Ryan and Bearce" then "Pale Moon Sky". With Pale Moon Sky, released a CD called This Feels Like Home. One song from that CD was licensed to Miramax Television for a WB TV show called Glory Days.
Your influences?
My high school and college days were in the 70's, so the folk rock era and acoustic guitars really influenced my tastes in the music I play. I listen, however to jazz, classical, rock, fusion, hip hop (a little), and whatever is playing really.
Equipment used:
I have a Parker Electric/Acoustic guitar, a Martin Acoustic guitar, an Epiphone Mandolin and a Crate Acoustic Amp.
