All these songs are rough cuts and first runs, I am currently in the studio finishing the EP. Stay tuned for the finished versions. In some cases there are one take versions to get the song down for copyright purposes.Band/artist history
I was Born and raised in San Antonio, TX. I learned to play guitar from a well known local Blues and Jazz guy named Jackie King(you can hear him playing with Willie Nelson, and many others and the Dellview Music School were I learned from Jonathan Grell(McCauley Schenker Group) and Bobby Flores(Ray Price). Played in many bands from the time I was fourteen and toured a little bit around Southern Texas and Lousiana. Left Texas when I was 19 and moved to Hawaii. In Hawaii, I met and got to play with some fantastic and inspirational people such as Uncle Willie "K" from Oahu, Willie Cocoa from Fiji and Wain McFarlane from the Band IpsoFacto who was in Hawaii for a bit escaping Minnesota. Also, I got to open up for a couple of blues bands Guitar Shorty(David Kearney) out of San Francisco, and the Phillip Walker Blues Band. After Hawaii I spent a short time in San Diego, CA where I played in bands on the same bill as Rocket from the Crypt, Den of Thiefs, Dolly Spike and Sprung Monkey. I then moved back to Hawaii for two years and finally moved to Seattle. In Seattle I played various venues in Pike street and then decided to move to Hollywood, CA. I spent one year in Hollywood playing local clubs, living in the Hollywood Hills where my neighbors where directors, writers, musicians while I worked a day gig at Fox studios, quite interesting year let me tell ya. I also, recorded some of my stuff at David Newton's studio in Los Angeles, (David is the guitar and vocalist from the Mighty Lemondrops you may remember them from the 80s). I recently moved back to Seattle(June 2003) and this is where I have decided to stay for bit, finish writing more songs and trying to get them published and out.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes, off and on. Small pubs and local Seattle and Texas haunts. It is a really great scene
