ABOUT

I'm a multi instrumentalist and vocalist currently serving as lead vocalist and multi instrumentalist in a Genesis tribute group based in London ON (a once a month or every other month commitment). I play piano/keyboards, classical guitarist, rock guitar (lead/rhythm) and have a strong singing voice. An old hand injury has me more focused on keyboard and vocals these days. I have extensive experience performing live a number of popular Windsor area bands. I am retired from my a long teaching career where I taught vocal and instrumental music for many years. I have performed in community theatre. I have an excellent ear and am a very creative force in terms of arrangements, harmonies and the like.

EQUIPMENT

Multiple keyboards (too many to list) but my main boards are my Kurzweil SP4-8 and Yamaha MX 61. I have several Korg and Roland boards as well. I run whatever keys I'm using through two amps for stereo effect. In terms of guitars I have A Les Paul Studio, a Godin SD, a EVH Wolfgang Standard, a Hutnik custom built Sputnik and other electrics. My nylon classical choice is a Cordoba Mini II acoustic-electric. I have all kinds of PA gear, mics, mixers and recording equipment.
