ABOUT
I’ve been playing music since a young wee lad. Started out playing accordion from kindergarten to grade 6. Played clarinet in junior high. Took vocal lessons throughout high school. Sang vocals in a little band in kenmare Ireland in 2002. Came back to winnipeg and learned guitar immediately and have been playing rhythm guitar / singing since on my own. Since 2014 - I’ve been playing with some friends at seniors residences, as a bass player and backup singer. Played bass guitar and rhythm guitar in a small band of three for a few years performing at coffee shops and various fundraising gigs. Currently in a band with 5 members playing rhythm guitar and vocals - getting ready for some gigs for fall 2023. I also play my 3 year olds ukelele ; )), the mandolin and the keyboard a little. Still pretty new to performing live but slowly getting better with my current band.
