I've played guitar and sang in a popular punk act in the 70s. I sang and played rhythm guitar in a Q107 homegrown winner in the early 80s. Since 1984 I've played many shows as a solo acoustic guitarist, singer/songwriter in Toronto and Asia. Since the late 80s I've been the frontman for several popular David Bowie tribute acts and was the vocalist for two original bands. I am interested in original music and improving my abilities more than I am in cover songs unless something special and exciting is going to be injected into the cover song.
