About Me

I started very late learning to play, but made progress very fast. I got into playing with bands six years ago and built up a reputation on the local blues scene. Bluesville are a shuffle ,funk and swing style band and the blues demons are an acoustic quartet. I want to do more solo gigs and write more songs . I also want to play more festivals and keep improving
