About Me


Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Orange Silk - Drums - Percussion - VocalsHey! Thanks for droppin' by. I began my musical career around the age of 7 in Orange, NJ. As a self-taught drummer, I sat in with a band in public for the first time at age 10 and shortly after, played in a real working band. Totally engrossed in music, I studied trumpet and music theory in high school and at Indiana University – Bloomington Campus. I have played in many well-regarded local area bands, too many to mention. I currently play in some local bands which include Tropical Storm, The Blues Elixir Band and begining February 2008, the popular country/rockabilly/bluegrass band, Wry Toast. Occasionally I perform with Blue Light District and Chris Delis and will sometimes find myself cruisin' along with The Captains of Leisure, Ghandharva and many others. I'm on several studio CD's and the double live album “Fireside Live” as a member of the John Ginty Band. I am also freelancing with some very talented singer songwriters that include Deb Ferrara, Kathy Phillips, Matt Angus and The Roamin’ Gabriels. Some of my career highlights include opening for Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge, ( that guy can STILL sing his ass off! ) the Box Tops, Beaver Brown and Papa John Creach and I have shared the stage with Jemimah Puddleduck and Shannon McNally, as well as performing in her back up band. I've also performed many times with Mark Karan and other members of Bob Weir’s “Ratdog”. It's been a great trip so far. ats it.DH
