About Me


basically, I play guitar & sing (and occasionally a few other instruments) for several bands.
Starbelly , Jarflys , Judd and Maggie , Meg & Bryan , Bryan, Mickey & Dana , Dan Haas Band , Non-fiction (a.k.a. majesty 12), Greg Phillips Trio . each band is pretty different from the next, and I like it that way. for live, studio and/or prduction work, I have also been hired by artists such as: Pat Dinizio (the smithereens), The Supremes, The Temptations (feat. Damon Harris), Warren Zanes (the Del Fuegos), Bens Bones, Jimi Haha, August West, Doug Segree, Shugar, Suzi (Kim Hall), Mama Jama, Linwood Battle, David Glaser, Orlando Phillips and few dozen other bands and producers. These are all people who have hired me, that list doesn't include hundreds of others I have sat in with, opened for, blah blah. And there is even more whose records I listen to. But that's not really pertinent here.
I am also now music director for the paul green school of rock in baltimore.
