About Me

I'm a life long Red Sox fan with a penchant for dive bars, southern writers, Creole cooking, and of course, 'dem blues -- though not necessarily in that order. I also have an on going love affair with porches. And brunch is by far my favorite meal of the week. I also enjoy a game of pool now and again. But I hate Winter. I just can't find a damn thing to like about it. But I adore Chicago style pizza, and I've heard they've got some pretty fine blues player's there. I've spent all but a year of my life in the chilly northeast, but I think I've got a bit of the south in my soul.

In addition to playing occasional solo gigs, I also play in New Pony, a funkified N'awlins style blues band I formed in 2006. You can check us out at www.myspace.com/newponyblues.

Influences: It's all the usual suspects from New Orleans to Chicago: Son House, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Bukka White, James Booker, John Mooney, Professor Longhair, The Rebirth Brass Band, Snooks Eaglin, Lightnin' Slim, Earl King, and Thelonious Monk, whose idiosyncratic sense of time, along with Robert Johnson's, dogs me at every step.
