I was born an army brat, living in Okinawa, Japan, Belgium, and Germany. I come from a family of musicians. My grandfather was a ho-down fiddler from Eastern Kentucky. I started playing at 10, making money at 13, dreams led to music. I played professionally even through high school. I joined the Dave Perkins Band and toured with The Allman Brothers, Charley Daniels, Little Feat, Rossington Collins Band, The Hooters, Badfinger and Bonnie Bramlett. I lived in NYC durning this time. Came home to Nashville to join Earl Thomas Conley where I played on 3 number one Country Hits. I then continued to play on many Christian rock records and the recordings of Russ Taff (produced by Jack Joseph Puig /Verve Pipe ("Freshmen") and The Black Crows ("Good Friday") Steve Camp and Rick Cua). Moving on to LA, I recorded and played with many R&B and rock artists such as Sam Moore (Sam & Dave) ,Ben E. King, Wilson Pickett and the Staple Singers. I worked and recorded with Del Shannon -- Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers produced. George Harrison and Jeff Lynn also played on that album. Moving back to Nashville, I had the privilege of performing at Farm Aid with Zaca Creek from Capital records. I then started playing shows for Opryland USA and performed with such artists as Deana Carter, Alicia Elliott, Exile and many others. am doing session work and producing new projects myself. I just returned from Scotland where I performed with Andrea Zonn at the Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow, and have been working on her new project. I will be touring with The "Little River Band" this summer. "I JUST WANT TO GROOVE!!!!!"
