ABOUT

I play keyboards in the progressive rock band, INCURA. I also play a variety of other instruments at a studio level such as guitar, bass and the Chapman Stick. I am available for any session gig. Blues, jazz, rock, pop, country are all styles I am comfortable with on: bass, chapman stick, guitar and keyboards. I am also available for hire as a sideman for any local gigs. I am highly trained from a theoretical perspective, and am skilled with many digital recording platforms. I am professional, quick to learn, humble and love playing music of all styles.
