Some of you visiting this page might know me from THE STARBOARD in Dewey Beach, where I play electric horn regularly with JIMI SMOOTH.
I started out as a trumpet player many years ago and eventually developed an interest in electronic wind instruments. In 1983 I started learning the EVI when I purchased a used analog Crumar EVI. EVI stands for Electronic Valve Instrument. The EVI was invented by trumpeter Nyle Steiner and is a truly remarkable and powerful instrument for those that take the time to commit to learning how to play it. Today, I play the EVI exclusively as my primary and only instrument. The EVI allows me to make a variety of sounds and effects that I use for various musical situations. A very versatile, sort of Swiss army knife instrument that comes in handy in a variety of gig situations. Think of it as the "MacGyver" of musical instruments!
I have played with a variety of bands and musicians over the years and currently play regularly with the incomparable Jimi Smooth along the eastern seaboard. In addition to my work with Jimi Smooth over the past decade, I have played with numerous other musicians and worked on numerous projects. I am pretty much a live musician and like to hit jam sessions when possible to explore new avenues in music that I might not have access to on my regular gigs. While recording is fun, nothing beats playing for a live crowd of people!
I particularly enjoy playing down at the beach for the slew of party-goers that like to hit the music scene along the eastern seaboard. If you are ever in Dewey Beach, be sure to come by The Starboard (world's greatest beach bar...period!) and check out Jimi Smooth - and say hi! MyGen Profile Generator
