Band Members:
In the POWERSLIDE days: (touring band and some recording) Chris Skane on guitar and background vocals. Mark Comstock on bass and background vocals. Myself on guitar and lead vocals. Orlando on drums.
On my solo projects I play everything. (and sometimes I get a little help from some rock star buddies)
If I do play out with a band I'll have my best friends play with me. Chris McClernon, Tom Felicetta and Trevor Zimmerman on bass, Mike Mercado on guitar and Victor Megenes on the kit. These guys kick ass and have years of experience. Chris and I also have a kick-ass fun band called 'Coverboy' with Jordan Summers, Eric Scotis, Casey McNerney. Playing your 70's and 80's hits.
