Tattoos, Motorcycles, and Rock 'n' Roll

About Me

I've been immersed in music my entire life. I grew up in a musical family and received my first guitar at age seven. By the time that I was nine, I had started playing tenor saxophone in school, which I would continue through high school and eventually take to NYU where I majored in Jazz Performance for a short period of time, before dropping out due to a $40,000 a year price tag. At age fourteen I started studying guitar again, and by age sixteen was playing in bar bands. I currently play in an old school rock project called Heatseeker , and my blues side project The Dirty Bourbon Blues Band . I am also attempting to start a loose alliance of Western New York rock-n-roll bands, the Syracuse Rochester Rock Alliance . Other than working a day job, and playing all night, I read avidly, ride my motorcycle up and down the East Coast, and have started tattooing myself as a hobby. Not much else to report...
