Band Members: I am a utility guy who usually is writing and performing with other musicians. I have spent the past 10 years playing with various musicians. For about 2 years I played lead guitar for a band called Skywind (Skywynd, Crash Anthem), as well as a Christian rock group, Wee Little Kelly. More recently I have written and recorded music with
Warner Brothers artist Edwina Hayes who is currently performing in England. Also, I have been playing gigs with Mark Harriman throughout Nashville, TN. Mark also performs with a popular Irish rock/pop group, The Sallymacs.
Check them both out because I believe they are exceptional. Living in Nashville, TN for about 5 years gave me the opportunity to play a lot and meet a lot of great people in the industry. I started at DreamWorks Music Publishing while going to school, and eventually ended up working for Jody Williams Music/Sony Tree in 2004. In 2000, I moved to Limerick, Ireland to study Traditional Irish Music. Irish music is a passion of mine and I dedicate most of my playing these days to it. Currently, I am living back in my home state of Minnesota opening a restaurant and bar. I am also working on a solo project of instrumentals and will put some up here when I can.
