About Me

I'm a family guy careening through my 30s who's still got a toehold in the music scene...somehow... I play guitar, bass, pedal steel, etc. I've played and/or recorded with:
Doghouse :: Chris Garrigues/Tiger Bomb :: Citizen Lane :: Isaac Peña :: Bob Amonett/Goliath :: attaboy :: Rivertrain :: Seahorse :: Moonlight Towers :: Zach Scott Theatre (Always...Patsy Cline, Aida, Hank Williams: Lost Highway) :: Chris McFarland :: The Joe Rank Experience :: Susanne Abbott :: The Mercers :: Carter Falco :: The Hackles :: Lilly West (Chomelix, France) :: The McKay Brothers
You might happen upon some sound clips of me sitting in on steel with Moonlight Towers here and here , and there may be clips of some work I've done with my good friends The Mercers and Chris McFarland on their respective web or myspace sites...

Review of The Mercers’ "Pretty Things Walk"

Pretty cool - these guys make some really fresh indie/alternative rock, and I was lucky enough to play some steel on their record.http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/review? oid=oid%3A589115...
