Influences

toured as harmonicist with Quebec singer and bluesman-Bob Walsh for ten years solid between 1987 to 1997 during which I was responsable for negotiating contractual terms, and every possible logistic accociated with touring full time be it plane and or buss schedules to sendind posters and arranging lodgings. Fronted own band under my name for most of the remainder of the 30 year time period. Musical influences are very eclectic with a strong blues, rhythm and blues base. The artists who have inspired me the most are the following-Stevie wonder, BB King, Moby, (Moby Plays). Diana Ross and the supremes. and so many others both old school and modern.
