Guitar/Bass/Voice – working in LA, NYC, Boston, Portland
The back story - Moved to Boston to study Jazz Comp/Arranging at Berklee. Played around the city and all over the country for a number of years in various ensembles. Became known as a "go to guy" in the Boston area for backing singer/songwriters and for adding texture, Ebow and unusual guitar effects. Had four national college releases in the last 8 years (one actively out there). Lots of CMJ action and 100+ shows per year for the last few. Currently located on the west coast.
I've played everything from Rock/Pop to Indie/Alterna, from Roots/Alt-Country to Drop D Heavy Rock. It's all good (and fun to play). Currently I'm working: with an Indie artist out of Boston pushing a national release, with a great Roots Rock artist in Portland, on recording sessions in LA and Boston, with Production/Arranging gigs in Portland.
