About Me

Although I've been the bass player for Philly blues band The Dukes of Destiny since 1995, I've still managed to get out and play behind some really talented performers. Recently I've considered fronting a project that features my own material so I've posted a few things here and we'll see how it goes. Please have a listen, offer a comment or two and in the meantime I'll see if I can't get some more content in here. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by. PEACE
