About Me

OR DOWNLOAD IT!!!
Check out some tunes I've been diggin lately...
Sometimes I feel like I grew up in the wrong era... the late 60's and 70's have always reigned supreme with me. I grew up listening to The Beatles, Jimmy Buffet, The Eagles and Van Morrison. But I did get my 80's fix in their- Hall and Oates, Duran Duran, Bruce Springsteen, INXS, Phil Collins....I guess that's why my music has that old-school songwriter feel to it with a little 80's cheese for good measure.
Don't get me wrong... I'm a saxophonist at heart and am infatuated with a good groove. Folks like Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Earth Wind and Fire and James Brown never cease to amaze me.
I've played in bands since I can remember, and I do it cuz I love it. Music is my world...
The new EP is out and ready for the consumable masses, so head over to CD Baby and take a look and listen...if you dig it, support the cause, because that's our bread and butter baby! Keep in touch...Should be exciting to see where this journey leads us.
