"IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE, SHARING ALL THE WORLD"

About Me

Guitar MySpace Layouts - Acoustic Guitar MySpace Layouts Guitar MySpace LayoutsI'm just out there trying to live the dream. After tearing up quite a few bars playing bass in STRIVE, I got the acoustic jones again. It's a great feeling watching people bob there heads and sing along with me. It's even better watching them do that to a song I wrote (I don't know why...). I try to mix passion with fun. You may have heard me put everything I had into a Beatles song then go right into Afroman. I just figure if I have a good time, then you'll have a good time, then i'll have an even better time.


Lately, i've been working on recording my 1st solo cd. It's been going slow for those of you that know me but it IS getting there. So far response has been great. My song "What's It All About" was included on the Quickstar Productions compilation "Chill Out: Vol 4". "Roll On" hit 7 the first week on www.mp3unsigned.com. "American Dream " is my latest and i'm looking forward to the feedback.


In January, I met up with a great band called TOPS OPTIONAL. So I got the 4 string out again and am now playing bass for them. They are all great musicians and I look forward to playing out with them. The shows are starting in April so check out www.myspace.com/topsoptionalrocks for more info.


So if you get the chance, drop me a line or stop out and see me play some time. And remember, i'll play anywhere, anytime (bars, partys, bar mitzvahs) just contact me.
