I create my tracks ahead of time. I trigger them live while playing guitar and singing. I get to play with other musicians at church and when I get invited by other bands or performers. I've hosted a few open jams in Des Moines.
Influences: Rogers & Hammerstein, Jose Feliciano, Carlos Santana, John McLaughlin, Grassroots, Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, Eagles, James Taylor, Hiroshima, Govi, David Haas, Craig Chaquico, Neal Schon, Jesse Cook, Earth Wind and Fire, Bob Marley, Michael Hedges, Doobie Brothers, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Joe Satriani, Sting ...

Sounds Like: Most say I have a smooth soothing vocal style.
My compositions are ambient and retrospective, founded on solid reggae-like bottom end, fat rythmic middle and a slightly latin/flamenco flair.
I am grateful that God allowed my musical talents to grow. I've been adviced that I should narrow my musical style so that I can be easily classified. I have difficulty with this because each song is unique. Each have their own personalities. I believe that Sting said it best when he said that we give birth to songs and that they grown on their own.
Thanks for reading this!
