ABOUT
I have been actively playing the drums for over 45 years.
I have recorded albums with In Mynd (1995), an original rock band from Ottawa, as well as for Jimmy Ray Todd (2014), an original blues-southern rock act.
Over the years, I've played in numerous Blues and Rock bands, performing regularly and consistently at many clubs, parties and music festivals. Since 1999 I have focused mainly on the Blues genre, most recently playing Blues with Blues Highway and Sandy Wilson. Other recent bands include Higher Ground and Rampage, both rock and dance 3-piece bands. I was most recently a member of Soulfusion a West Island Montreal band now out of Brockville. It's a '60s and '70s performance and party/dance band with 18 years of performance history.
I've also played several shows with Matt Huges an accomplished recording artist, guitarist, singer and front-man out of Kingston.
I have hosted and backed up Morgan Davis with a full band on 3 occasions, with more to come.
I performed annually for 10+ years at the Limestone City Bluesfest with various bands and pick-up acts.
Currently, I'm a member of the house band at the Texas Tavern hosting a weekly Open Jam with Logan Brown and Mike Mann, playing a myriad of rock, pop and blues favorites.
I have a spacious heated/AC rehearsal hall with PA, guitar, bass and keyboard amps in Brockville.
