Sounds Like: "His guitar and body become one, his voice and words become one, recalling the mysticism of one of Tulpa’s largest influences, Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page. Melodies are layered with fluidic scale runs, hard-driving chord progressions, and abrupt rhythm changes that make their songs seem more like orchestral suites.""He plays Bach and Villa-Lobos as adeptly as he plays Tool and Santana, which diversifies his opportunities. Solo classical guitar gigs around town are common, and sometimes he sits in on other band’s gigs in Bowling Green and Nashville, which may include thrash, blues, funk, or swing."-John Apollo, Amplifier September 2001
