About Me

I've been playing musical instruments for 20 years, violin, trombone, trumpet, drums, sax, guitar, mandolin, dobro, didgeridoo, viola, bass, cello, piano/keys, programming beats, slide whistle, rail road spikes, and i also sing. i'm currently leading the band "SICK'S PACK", whose record will be available soon. i spent the last 2 years touring with the asylum street spankers out of austin, tx. i used to tour with podank string band out of tulsa, ok. i played fiddle in the streets of new orleans for four years. i dropped out of music school because everyone there started to sound the same to me. i like music with a sense of humor, but try not to confuse that with comedy set to music. pretty soon, you'll be able to visit my many different bands/performance acts at my new website fiddlekiller.com .PROJECTS: sick's pack - if podank and the spankers had anything in common, then add some distortion and a kickin' drummer. dance and talk all you want, i'll get your attention when you're ready. bootlegs available upon request at [email protected] .carousel cabaret - sexxxy and funny burlesque troupe, now appearing at austin's own, the SAXON PUB. live band, live girls.that damned band: the soundtrack to a live human oddities troupe. 999eyes.com3 Redneck Tenors - opera singers in mullet wigs. 3rednecktenors.com
