Born and raised in the States but moved to Vancouver about 3 years ago and then from there to Kelowna for work. Been playing since about 20-21 (so much later than I wished, but dad had a problem with his son being a musician at the time). In the last 9 years Ive played in all kinds of groups from ska, reggae, classic rock, country, blues, blues rock, punk, 80's 90's cover bands and even improv R&B and session work for hip hop.
Love all kinds of genres and styles. If you could put Green Day, Less Than Jake, Sublime, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, RHCP, Rancid, Tool, and D'Angelo into a blender, that would be my style! Really enjoy jamming out covers in completely different genres from which they were recorded. Heavy Metal Taylor Swift to Reggae Wagon Wheel.
