About Me

Hi. I'm an Atlanta based producer and musician. As a Producer, I've enjoyed working with many great artists including The Modern Society, Tim Brantley, Alice Peacock, David Berkeley, Juliana Finch, The Booze, Someday New, Mosey Walker, Claire Bradley, Line of Sight, Dear Enemy, and lots of other folks. I've posted some songs from these artists for you to check out. They all have great My Space pages too. I have a studio called Red Door Productions. It's a really nice facility with great gear and a great vibe. It's possible to do everything from drums & real grand piano, to vocal & guitar overdubs, etc. I try to create a comfortable musical and personal environment for everyone to relax, work together and hopefully create great music******************************************************* ************************************************************ *****************************As a guitarist, I've played with many bands. Almost 10 years with the Tender Idols, an English influenced rock band. In our early years we sounded like "Your Arsenal" era Morrissey, and in the end more like Pink Floyd meets Travis. This was all given an original spin by the beautiful melodic voice of our enigmatic english frontman Ian Webber and the other great musicians in the band..... cool haircuts and a great live show....what more could you ask for? We released 3 CD's I'm still very proud of and toured and played everywhere. We still play when we can get the West Coast members to come to Atlanta***************************************************** ************************************************************ *******************************I spent about 3 years touring with Alice Peacock. An amazing artist from Chicago. Very cool vibe, she plays piano, guitar, and writes and sings with a classic and timeless delivery. Joni Mitchell comes to mind. But she's not afraid to write a catchy pop song. We played with some cool bands (Mellancamp, Aimee Mann, Heart, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Elvis Costello) I played on Alice's new CD called "Who I Am". Recorded last summer in LA with Old 97's producer Andrew Williams. Alice will be touring this year, and I will be playing with her on any dates below the Mason Dixon Line******************************************************** ************************************************************ *******************************I'm also privileged to play with David Berkeley, a Nick Drakesque, singer/songwriter with a haunting voice and the most amazingly natural stage presense. Killer songs. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ **********************
