I am a working musician in the Minneapolis area. I play Slide Guitar, and Mandolin and Sing with THE NORTH COUNTRY BANDITS. I also Sing, play Slide Guitar and Mandolin with MATT PUDAS & THE NORTH COUNTRY BANDITS as well as the guitar duties in THE JASON DIXON LINE. Music is a huge part of my life, it's what keeps my creative juices flowing. I have a very diverse appreciation for music ranging from Rock, Blues, Classical, Jazz, and Country/Western Swing, Indian Classical, Folk as well as Bluegrass. I teach both Guitar and Mandolin at Simply Strings Studio in St. Paul. I really love my job. My students keep me honest, and it is fun to watch them progress. I also work at The Podium Guitar shop in Dinky-town. When I am not busy with all things music related I like to spend time with loved ones and catch up with friends whom I have not seen in a while. That is all for now.
