About Me

Vocalist / Lyricist
Moved to Chicago in February of 2007 and damn happy to be here!
On Myspace for any or all of the following:
* Network to find local bands that may need a vocalist
* Network to find artists in need of a decent lyicist
* Find some great local performances to attend to keep me busy and out of trouble
* Meet great local people with common goals and interests for networking and/or inceasing my tiny Chicago circle of friends!
Will shortly have a few original demos posted, but for now a couple covers will have do as far as vocal samples.
I have performed in various venue-types from bars, clubs, and smokey holes-in-the-wall, to weddings, corporate parties, fund-raisers, and outdoor events. Genre shifts have been a regular part of my routine as well, performing with small 4 piece classic rock bands, to a 10-piece horn band, to 2-piece acoustic projects.
So if you need a vocalist or lyricist, or have an upcoming gig - shoot me an e-mail! I would love to meet you!

The road to Chicago . . .

There is little water in the desert.  Where there is little water is little growth.  So, I got out of the desert. Came to this city called Chicago as of February 2007.  Ahhh w...
