About Me

Hello everyone. Thanks for visiting my space. I am a singer/songwriter and just plain ole’ live music junkie from Chesterton, Indiana. I am currently playing Bass Guitar for "The Johnny Mac Attack", a Blues/Rock Band also hailing from Northwest Indiana. I am also priviledged to be playing guitar along side the great Ron Buffington. When I’m not doing this, I am either co-hosting an open mic night or haunting as many live music shows I can possibly cram in.
From early on I have been influenced by some of the great "Blues Rockers" such as Robin Trower, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and David Gilmour to name only a few. I play 6 & 12 string electric and accoustic guitar, electric bass guitar, and some keyboards (which is just about enough to get me in trouble).
I am concentrating on writing and producing music in my home studio "The Dungeon". In November of 2007 I completed my first full length CD "Just A Dream", and it is available for purchase. Just contact me if you are interested in a copy. I am currently in the process of completing my next accoustic debut, but I have been somewhat delayed do to spending too much time and having way too much fun playing live gigs.
Although my major influences have come from early classic rock and blues players, my recent original material seems to reflect a completely different theme. Go figure........Anyway, thanks for visiting and one of these centuries I just might get some new tunes put up here for you to listen to. Rock on!!!!
Now that’s Rock N’ Roll!!!

In memory of "My friend Mike" I miss ya Brother.....
