I'm in a couple. Right now, the most vigorous is Bright Shadow, a three-piece rock band with prog edges to it.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Highway, Blackwater, Quiet Reign, Kalif Storch, Dreamer, Gambit, Austin Power Plant, Bright Shadow, Whitestone. That covers about 35 years...
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I love playing live. We play around Austin.
Your musical influences
Yes, Kansas, Allan Holdsworth, Al DiMeola, Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Ed Shaughnessy, Steve Vai, and more.
What equipment do you use?
Parker, Godin, Hamer, and Pearce amps (all solid state!), Tama drums and Sabian cymbals, and a hodge-podge of PA and recording gear.
Anything else?
It's really frustrating trying to find musicians on the same page as you. When you do, it's magic.
