ABOUT
Keyboard player, primary focus on Hammond Organ.
Very busy with various acts these days, but interested in one-off gigs, sub work, studio work, etc. I perform mostly Classic Rock, Grateful Dead, and Big Band these days. love blues and R&B, Memphis soul in particular. I can read lead sheets, am familiar with Nashville notation, etc. I work well with others.
If you contact me, have a firm idea of your schedule, pay potential, amount of rehearsal time needed, and personal practice material available (e.g. album recordings). Like I said, I'm busy, but I'm not a flake. This means that even if your project sounds like a lot of fun, I won't take it on if I don't have the time to do it right.
