About Me

I've been playing music all of my life but really began to feel it seriously when I was in my Mother's womb...I can bet that her heart beat meant the world to me back then...still does. I try to contain experience in my songs...from the literary to the post debaucherous. I enjoy being a lead guitar player and have had a blast being a sideman of sorts. I am a composer. When I'm dead I'll be a de-composer. I've had work played worldwide on commercials during the Olympics for Visa, Court TV with Vulcanizadora, and PBS....but that takes a far back seat to composing for my own self and for friends and for fans and dance lovers. I have an album of mostly acoustic songs. It's a folk rock breakaway with a penchant for the verbose if that's your kind of thing....which means it has real purdy words. Musically it is simply understated but precise and deliberate. I have an electric psychedelic band that I am part of that's called Rolling Reunion. Check out our Myspace Music page. Bonnaroo, Baja Bash, Summer Daze, Dulzura World Peace, Summer Melt Down are some of the festivals I've played. I have been on the same bill with artists Radiohead, Phil Lesh and Friends, Tom Petty, Buddy Guy, and Bright Eyes among others....and consider myself very lucky to have done so. I teach music by day and play by night and by morning. I don't sleep very much and I don't really have a physical limit other than "oh shit." I Love honest and kind people. I Love insane crazy people. I Love people who know how to give and receive respect to all living things. They are my inspiration. I hope you take some of my music with you. See you.
