Originally from ZZ Top Stevie Ray Vaughn country, Texas, I gigged my way to Maine and that's where I am based. My first guitar was a nylon string handmade acoustic from a shop in Spain brought home vacationing parents. Little did I know that was the beginning of a lifelong passion. Though I work 8 hour days, I still rehearse 2 hours every evening and commonly all day on weekends.
I make a point to avoid trends, venture from the crowd, and explore riffs that are my own signature. I have tons of influences and I keep the best parts of them to expand upon in my own playing. My influences include pretty much everything except opera. As a result, my music has a unique flavor that is hard to describe. Amazing is the most common word. I would debate that, but that's what people say to me at every single gig.
I compose, record, and perform guitar based instrumental rock. I love thick keyboards and a heavy bottom end, so those are evident throughout nearly all my songs. The songs range from dreamy to blazing, but always tasty. Currently I perform everywhere...clubs, pubs, coffee houses, parties of all kinds, concerts, church events, charities, street festivals.
