About Me

The songs that i have added to this page are tracks that i have recorded with various bands and artists of different styles. All songs are recorded with me on Guitar and backing Vocals/Harmonies, Piano, and Various different Instruments, and are a demonstration of myself and some of the various styles that i have recorded and played. I am currently working on recording some new material of mine including new songs as well as instrumentals that i will definitely upload and post as soon as they are complete. So please check back as often as you would like. I think I've pretty much been a musician all of my life, but only actually remember as far back as around age 3 or 4 when i started out playing piano and drums. My Mom and I were total "music buddies" the first 12 years of my life. I got my first guitar at age 10 that was given to me by my aunt which was stored in her garage collecting dust for no telling how long and only had 2 strings on it. But I played those 2 strings til they wouldn't play anymore (lol). I didn't get my first "real" guitar til i was 13 yr old, it was an old classical guitar that my Dad got for me. THAT was an exciting day for me! I dont know if that guitar ever left my sight, lol! My Dad also got me my first electric guitar (the old white Kramer...gotta love it!) from the local pawn shop at age 16. Soon after that I joined my first real band and have been playing with different styles of great bands and players since, such as Rock, Blues, Country, Gospel, not to mention most of them have become great friends. Please take a listen and feel free to respond with some feedback. ..
