About Me

I play bass guitar, write music, and run sound.
I play bass in an original blues band called the BB Miller Band with Brandon Miller and Dennis Dorrell. Our song How Many More Times is my profile song. We are currently writing and performing our own material along with select covers from some of blues' most influential artists.
I play bass and sing alongside Billy Royce and Christy Garde in Voodoo Kitchin . We cover mostly B-sides ranging from SRV to Hendrix to Zeppelin to the Beatles.
I am one of the hosts of Jerry's Jam Night along with Justin Collet, Scotty McBee, and Guy Hodson. It happens at Jerry's Bait Shop each and every Wednesday in old town Lenexa and Thursday in Lee's Summit, 9 pm.
I performed in a holidays project called Captain Mole and the Sea Flats with Captain Craig (Moaning Lisa, Big Jimmy and the Twins, etc) on the drums/vocals, The Mole (90 Minutes, Goodnight Nobody) on lead vocals, and Brandon Miller (ReHabeneros, Almost KISS) on guitar/vocals. We covered material ranging from RUSH to RHCP to RATM.
I am happily married to my awesome wife Kelly who is my #1 support and great inspiration in my life. She succeeds at her Hypnotherapy and Holistic Health business and is a great Photographer of the local music scene.
My values and loves are simply summed up as:
Admirable = Keeping One’s Word
Dress = Comfort
Education = Pursue Your Passion
Family = Steady
Friends = Long Lasting & Evolving
Love = Trust & Support
Peeve = Turn Signal Deficiency
Soulfood = Music
Wheels = 2 or 4x4 or Carbureted
