About Me

Born in New Orleans, USA. I've been lucky enough to live in cool places that exposed me to new adventures; like mountain climbing in Colorado or scuba diving with sharks in the Florida Keys. I've been bitten by Black Widow spiders, stung by scorpions, lived through Hurricane Katrina, and survived all of my thrill seeking so far. I feel so full of life and grateful for each day. What other adventures are around the corner... I consider myself lucky to have played with many great musicians and performed lots and lots of shows all over the place. One of my more memorable experiences is opening up for Bush at CPR Fest right after being discharged from the hospital for appendix surgery and sneaking one more song into the set. It has been a blast recording with producer Dave Fortman (Evanescence, 12 Stones, Simple Plan, Mudvayne, etc) and playing guitar with Brian Stoltz of The Funky Meters. I've performed with Sub 7, Eddy Redd Band, No Alibi, Showtyme, Zapf Dingbats, 2 Faced Kitty, Stranger, and others. Sub 7 achieved significant radio play in the United States. ERB got to play on both morning and late night television and won Hard Rock Cafe's New Orleans Battle of the Bands. I've produced music for bands & singers, television and radio commercials, soundtrack & film score music for a number of independent films and television shows. I strive to write music that captures a mood or an emotion kind of like a little sonic photograph. My family is my life and my inspiration.

Rock the vote

Yes, the primaries count too - get out and vote for the candidate that best reflects your values.  Complaining doesn't solve problems; get involved and do something about it!

Musical split personality

Addicted to sushi

As far as acquired tastes go, it's hard to beat well prepared sushi.  And it's healthy!  I'm pretty sure I am addicted to smoked salmon at this point.  It's certainly better than the al...

Anarchy in the U.K.
