About Me

Hey all, welcome.
I was born in Derry City Ireland. I had a guitar from an early age that I beat up pretty badly, but I didn't take it serously until I was thirteen. From then on I've written lots of songs, played in lots of bands as well as playing solo. The Guitar and a love for music has taken me all over the world. I am currently based here in New York City.
I play every Monday night as the lead guitarist, in the house Karaoke Rock-N-Roll Band at Arlenes Grocery. We've played with Moby, Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze),Vanessa Carlton, Zoe Bonham, The New York Dolls, Hubert Sumlin (Howlin Wolf) Tony Harnell (TNT) Anna Phoebe (Jethro Tull & TSO) etc. Appearances on MTV and Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, etc. visit myspace.com/arlenesworldfamous

Myself and a few other lads have been rehearsing for a new project, with Drum God "Bobby Rondinelli" of Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Aerosmith, Blue Oyster Cult..etc.
It's a Led Zeppelin tribute band "CODA". Theres a sample of the Stairway To Heaven solo above that we recorded live.
I fill in with Smith Island when their guys go on tour. Great Band!
I do session work from time to time, and give guitar lessons.
If you are in search of a Guitarist & intrested in working with me, please don’t hesitate to drop me an e-mail here on myspace.
"Hey Carson"!
