ABOUT ME

For over forty years now, the guitar has been an essential part of my life. Like many other guitarists of my generation, the heroes of the 60's and 70's era made an indelible mark on me, traces of which will never leave my playing. Whether it's the blues, rock, pop, jazz fusion or country, I have played in projects over the years in each of those genres, and in the process have developed a love and respect for all of them. Subconsciously, all those players and genres have proudly seeped into my "style". To me, it's all about playing the right note, at the right place with the right tone; with that, anything is possible. On Oct 2 2018 I released my second album Seconds. It's a new collection of songs where I make my debut on vocals, along with contributions from Paul Rossman on drums and John Francese on keyboards. I have been playing a lot of shows this past year with my new lineup of two incredibly talented musicians, John Clay on drums and Gary Brokaw on bass and vocals. Thanks so much for visiting my site and your interest in my music! I look forward to seeing you at one of my upcoming shows!

MY MUSIC

On October 2 2018 I released my latest album titled Seconds. It's a collection of songs where I made a real focus on lyrics, a bit of a departure from Colors That Move which was an instrumental album. Here are some tracks from both Seconds, as well as Colors That Move.
