Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band has been a bit like musical chairs. I've been lucky enough to play with many
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
The band plays all over the West Coast, however I frequently play solo acoustic shows.
Your musical influences
Well, where do i start??? I beg, borrow, and steal bits and pieces from everyone. However, lately, I've found inspiration in the music of Jim Croce, John Mayer, Barenaked Ladies, Sister Hazel, KISS, Ani Difranco, and the Rat Pack.
What equipment do you use?
I'm pretty dedicated to Fender and Carvin guitars and Line 6 Amps. Hopefully someday they will offer to sponsor me...since I've spent sooo much money on their stuff! However, if Taylor or Martin beat them to it, I wouldn't complain either.
Anything else?
