Band/artist history
We all have war stories... mine are... well... mine. They tell better in song. I've worked a lot as a hired gun, sideman, freelancing and sitting in with local bands and shows doing their stuff. Here I take the opportunity to let you hear my own stuff as it develops. Take a listen.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Live engagements currently include various venues such as cofeeshops, bar and grills and outdoor events in Orange County, California and the surrounding areas. Frequently these engagements benefit my favorite drug/alcohol recovery and homeless assistance non-profit organizations. Being able to put a smile on the face of someone who doesn't really have a whole lot to smile about is very special.

King, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Marvin Hamlisch, Cynthia Weil & Barry Mann, Kenny Loggins, Rick Derringer, James Brown, Merle Haggard, Pete Townsend, Johnny Cash, Willy Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Otis Redding, Eric Burdon, Michael Nesmith of the Monkees, The Vanilla Fudge, Felix Cavalieri of the Rascals, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Smoky Robinson, The Stones, The Band, Santana, The Kinks, etc. and of course... music of Hawaii.

Anything else?
By the way... yes, I am Hawaiian.
