About Me

FOR CALENDAR OF SHOWS, VISIT WWW.SATISFIEDDRIVE.COM OR WWW.MYSPACE.COM/SATISFIEDDRIVE
Lead guitarist for Stretching Madness since 2000. Lead vocalist and guitarist for Satisfied Drive since 2007. Guitarist/Alto Sax/vocalist for the Stone Wall Rockers Rythym and Blues Revue from 1998 - 2009. Recording engineer at Stone Wall Studio from 1998 - 2009.
Guitarist-for-hire and studio musician building a resume on electric and acoustic guitar. I have a solid understanding of chords and chord charts, keys, song structure, and improvisational techniques, and although I don't sight read much, I have been told I have a excelent sensiblity to play for the song, not the solo. Feel free to contact me for references. My forte is certainly rock and blues, but I have performed on recordings of many genres, including Rock/Metal, Blues, R&B, Gospel, Country, Folk, and others. I can be slow and melodic, or I can be fast and furious...whatever the song calls for. I'm always looking for opportunities to build my repertoire and resume, so hit me up for some affordable/free work.
Here are some videos with my current band, Satisfied Drive.
