Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've played guitar for as long as I can remember. I spent many years in a long line of Rock and Country bands before deciding to concentrate on writing in the mid-'90s. My home is near the North Carolina Coast, and that's where I do most of my recording.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I played live with bands every weekend for about 15 years, but now I only do the occasional open mic or solo set. I plan to do more in the near future.
Your musical influences
Eagles, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Gram Parsons, Police, U2, Wallflowers, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton,.........
What equipment do you use?
I use several guitars, bass, fiddle, keys, and various recording software. I perform all the parts, and compose the drum tracks with sequencers.
