About Me

.. ..

I am a Guitarist Singer/Songwriter who has been involved with the Maine music scene for more than 2 decades.

For the last year and a half ('08-'09) I have been primarily the lead guitarist for the Laurie Jones Band out of Central Maine. The band has appeared in various venues throughout the North East in support of her CD releases.

"Goat Dance"- Performed 09/20/2008 at The Common Ground Fair Unity, Maine.

"Wonderful and Cheaper"- Performed 11/05/2008 at The Husson University Campus. Bangor, Maine.

"Better Days"- Performed 09/20/2008 at The Common Ground Fair Unity, Maine.

In addition to my live work with the Jones' Band, I have also worked with many other very talented local artists. Both in the studio as well as live performances
