I am:
a Christian,
a father,
a son,
a brother,
a fiance,
a friend,
a musician,
a hard worker,
an optomist,
a realist,
a fun loving person,
a giver,
sometimes too kind for my own good,
a person who looks for the best in other people,
among other things.
I've been a musician for most of my life.
The 70's were an awesome decade to be on the road playing Rock-n-Roll. I had the great pleasure to be touring the south and mid-west with CHOICE during that "decade of decadence". I met so many awesome people and got to play some amazing shows.
In the 80's, the bands were Starshower and Debut. And, the opportunities and experiences were incredible. A few of the folks I've had the good fortune to make music with over the years have been:
Ringo Starr, Jerry Lee Lewis, Nigel Olson, Travis Tritt, Jim Messina, Neil Sedaka, Peabo Bryson, Isaac Hayes, Jermaine Jackson, Les Dudek, Frank Marino, Amy Grant, Vince Gill among others.
Locally I've played with and become friends with so many awesome musicians, many of whom are among my friends here on MySpace. If I were to make a list, undoubtebly I would leave off several and I don't want to do that.
Currently, I'm playing with a band called One Tree Hill . This band is a Christian based all original group that is more acoustically driven than my Rock-n-Roll bands of the past. We record our tunes and sell our CDs wherever we play, as well as on several Independent music websites. Check out my Videos! I've got a couple of songs from a local Live TV show we did last summer.
Another band I sometimes play with is called Legacy. We have also been known as the Turner Field Band, playing before Braves games from 97 - 02. And the Atlanta Falcon's House Band, playing during the Falcon's Games.
Finally, I'm on my second stint with Atlanta Beat . We're an 8-piece variety band with a song list that goes from Sinatra standards through the decades of disco, Motown, Rock-n-Roll, all the way up to current pop, hip-hop, and alternative rock. We play mostly weddings and corporate events. It's a fun gig with some awesomme musicians and singers.
I've definitely had some ups and downs in my life. But I know that God's grace will take care of me, even in the worst of circumstances, and I've already lived through that. So, I look forward to the next season of my life with great anticipation and excitement.
