ABOUT

Contact:
- Ebay at Stage Left dot ca

I have been in the music industry for over fiftty years as a bass player and many professional behind-the-scenes roles (licensed pyrotechnician, lighting director, stage/tour/road manager, band manager, booking agent, etc.). I am also experienced in graphic arts (posters, passes, web sites, etc.).

I am NOT looking to join any band, so please don't ask.

I am bassist & backing vocals for 'Run 2 You' (Bryan Adams tribute band).

I am former bassist & backing vocals for cover bands 'Timeless', 'Sirens Call', 'Time Warp' and 'Sugar'. I am sub bassist for 'Summer Of 69' (Bryan Adams tribute band).

I have also been in an original band 'Juke' that recorded a CD at Metalworks, and several tribute bands over the past forty years: 'Unchained' (1983 Van Halen tribute), 'Tarot' (1985-1986 Dio tribute), 'Sabbra Cadabra' (1998-2002 Black Sabbath tribute), 'Scorpios' (2019-2022) Scorpions tribute.
