About Me

I started playing guitar around age 14. I was first taught Country, and Rock n Roll, and then I got into Jazz and punk rock in high school. I played in several bands in High School; Bliss Monkey, Dagobah System, and The Bandits. I also played in The Grimsley High Jazz Band, and The Greensboro Music Academy. When I moved hear I started to play at the Rusty Nail Jazz Jam every Sun. for about 5 years. Then afterwards I started to play with Will Chacon, and Jason Moore at the Sweet N Savory Resturaunte. This went on for about 2 years. Since then we have been playing all over for weddings, reception dinners, any club, bar or function in need of music. We started playing with Dan Veit, who has been taking us into more original sounds. I am currently in the process of putting together originals and setting up another group. Basically just writing whatever comes out. Jazz, punk, Funk, Reggae, rock, etc. etc. I will put some songs up a soon as I can get them recorded and hopefully it wont be to long. This summer I am going to work on originals and find a steady job or gig with music. I recently went to Nashville with Will, and Jason, and I loved it. I may end up their.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
