Guitarist of 40 years, bandleader, singer, songwriter, leaning toward the heavy side of rock and blues. Dean's List graduate of Red Deer College Music Performance and Merchandising curriculum. Hard rock musicologist, habitual wood-shedder, stable and reliable, respectful and genuine.
Currently committed to:
Completing an original rock album cowritten, performed and produced with my longest running rock collaborator. We've got some real abrasive guitar rock coming soon!!
My role as 2nd fiddle w Shona Rae & The Bona Fides.
Also stand-in bassist on a special project coming soon to a venue near you in Cowtowne.
I may have enough gas in the tank to be part of rock collaborations if the material is right. Try me if you need some heavy guitar; it's long since branded in my DNA.
Fun Fact: I was born the day the first Black Sabbath album was recorded.
