So, uhh, who's the big guy in the chef's pants?

About Me

An old school type blues/rock player. Never a pro but always in the mix with great players from all over. Influenced by all of the guitar heroes, Jeff Beck, Clapton, Page, Johnny Winter, Keith Richards, Santana, and of course, Jimi Hendrix. Had the good fortune to see most of em play it live at the Fillmore East and was infused with the legendary performances as they happened. Did the cover bands thing (yawn) and faded from the scene while other good friends continued to enjoy varied degrees of success in a myriad of projects. Developed a passion for the culinary arts and eventually created a stylish and popular bistro in Ridgewood, NJ (see gazellecafe.com) where we play cool music and serve great food. We play now as a backup for a local singer/songwriter who has some cool tunes and allows us to take em out and put a nice stamp on em- (Zeke Carey Band) as well as stretching out at the local jams. Most notable is Thursday night at Jigg's, Rt. 23N, Riverdale, a hospitable NJ music bar where you can see some of the best local players around on a given night.
