About Me

I've been playing guitar with Junior for years. We kind of had our shot at the title a few years back, but now just write & record 'cos we love doing it. Check out our myspace for a few more of our tunes.

I'm mainly into alt-country & related stuff but am discovering more of the old school stuff that I love. As well as guitar, I also dabble with mandolin, lap steel & pedal steel and have also managed to slot in to a few other bands to help out from time to time. Over the last couple of years I've been lucky enough to have a hit with Highway 31, Emily Davis & the Sunday Brides, the Yearlings, Special Patrol, Greg Arnold & the Lost Marias, the Audreys, Too Fiddy, the Bundy Incident and Rustflower.

I'm not quite so busy now so if anyone needs another guitarist for a while...

And I've just started a PhD in Immunology/Genetics/Statistics so I guess that makes me a bit of a nerd.
