Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been playing guitar and writing songs for a long time. I got into recording my songs mainly as way not to forget them since I never learned to read or write sheet music. I picked up other instruments along the way to accompany myself. All of the instrumentation for my songs was written and performed by me.
Your musical influences
Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Oasis, Beatles, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Elvis, Sam Phillips, Alan Lomax, BB King, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppilin, The Doors, The Velvet Underground, John Denver, the list goes on.....
What equipment do you use?
I have a 1997 Epiphone Riviera that I play through a Peavey Delta Blues 2x10 tube amp, Guild Madereia A-30 R Acoustic Guitar,5 pc Groove Percussion Drum set, Fender Squier Percission Bass. Everything was recorded through two AKG D950 mics into a Tascam 424 MKIII portastudio (running the mixer portion into my computer), 1.53 GHz Athlon computer with a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard running Cubase SE (with Steinberg's Studio Case). Sony TC-200 Reel to Reel tape recorder.
