** NEWS UPDATE 2/07** Vocalist Jay Abbott and I are merging with the remaining members of what was formerly known as "Goldsmith" (See www.goldsmith2000.com) and the rehearsal sessions are underway. Bainz is a KICKASS drummer and Tommy is full of shred on the guitar, and we are looking forward to bringing Denver a really tight and hard drivin' rock show soon!! Keep checking back here and I'll keep everyone posted!!

Originally from the Big Easy City of New Orleans Louisiana, I was born and bred on the very ecclectic musical sounds and styles of the Mississippi Delta. From Blues to Zydeco, Dixie Jazz to Heavy Metal....the influences pulse through my veins and are forever a part of my soul.
I enjoy being able to play a variety of styles and believe that being so open minded to many different genres has made me a better player than I might have been otherwise.
I've had the privelege of opening for, playing and touring with, a number of national bands and artists. Each show, session or jam have all been incredible experiences from which I've always been able to take something with me musically.
I also would be remiss if I didnt mention my Halloween wedding to my beloved bride, Cami...AKA-"Ryely"(Love ya bebe!) she is a radio DJ and an up-and-coming drummer! Drop by and say "hello" to her...she is #1 in my "Top 12" friends list here....

Fifth of Meg
