Thanks to everyone who came out to the Shedd gigs!

About Me

I'm mainly a guitarist, though I sing a bit here and there. Most of my myspace friends probably know me from Too White Crew (TWC), an Old School Hip Hop band that I've been with since its inception. We've had some good success in the last few years, including performances at the Playboy mansion in L.A. and the Luxor in Vegas. I was also the guitarist for the Chicago band Generations from 2001 to 2007. I have the good fortune to get to play jazz as well, both as a sideman and as a leader. My favorite experiences have been playing with Von Freeman, which I've been lucky enough to do a few times. Also,I recently finished a book of Wes Montgomery transcriptions. (I transcribed his performance on the BBC show, Jazz 625.) It should be available shortly.
