Lived in Ayr, ON (small town near Cambridge) for 10 years. Making my way towards the west, I moved to Winnipeg. I got my first guitar for my 15th birthday and I've been playing and writing ever since. It's a black BC Rich acoustic and I was thrilled when I recieved it. I moved to Kelowna in August 2004.I'm working on material for my first full album. I play both acoustic and electric guitar and have one of each. I've been jamming and meeting with as many people as I can, to collaborate and have a rockin time. Do you share my passion for music? Music is my destiny!You will find me at the Grateful Fed, downtown Kelowna on Wednesdays, for Jam Night. Come on down and share a song, on the spot collaborations are magical at times, sometimes, not so much, but fun nontheless. I'm mostly a rhythym guitarists and singer, but I've been known to improvise solo's here and there. I enjoy playing classic rock covers by Tom Petty, CCR, Neil Younge,Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan and many more. I always enjoy sharing my own songs as well.The mission is to be playing gigs with a drummer and a few other lead musicians by summer.
