Influences: Paul Butterfield, Paul deLay, Lee Oscar, Rod Piazza, George (harmonica) Smith, Mark Ford, and William Clarke are my harp icons. Mellifluous and soulful vocalists like Andy Bey and Liz Wright are my inspirations. And jazzin blues guitarists like Ronnie Earl nourish me. Occupying the top of the list though are my heart and daughter Erin, my gorgeous muse Marina and our two bewitchingly beautiful twins Natalie and Sophia!
Sounds Like: I seem to have assimilated a lot of the late Paul Butterfield's tone in my effort to emulate him as a kid. Somehow when I heard him effuse that tone I was arrested in a way that never has let go. Many, many types of music engage me but the harmonica when overdriven sweetly through a tube amp is the deepest expression I have yet to express myself with (and I've tried a few). As a result of this organic attraction and being wholly self taught I sound like: me.
