I attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I played guitar in the jazz band, piano in the U of I Jazz Messengers combo, and guitar in the classical guitar quartet. I played guitar and sang in the band Ground Zero/Cleveland Pete (Rich Clark- Bass and Vocals, Rob Dubois- Drums, Chris Mahieu- Piano).
Most recently I have been performing mainly solo acoustic shows at bars and coffee houses in the Chicagoland area. In addition, I play weddings and private parties, and do studio recordings.
Regardless of the musical setting, I always try to play from the heart and to communicate directly with the audience. I believe that music has the power to heal as well as to unite, inspire, and entertain; the best musicians do all of these things simultaneously.
Music has given me an incredible amount of peace and joy. It is my sincere hope that it has done and continues to do the same for you. Peace.
