About
Me...
I live in the Austin, TX area
(aka "Live Music Capital of the World") and I have
30+ years of experience playing live as well as studio recording.
I've played many styles of music including rock,
 blues,
jazz, reggae, and country.
I'm currently playing with
The Elliott Fikes Band. I have
also played live and/or recorded with local artists such as:
Johnny Apollo and the Saturn Seven, Steve Alexander, Johnny Reverb
and Dream House, The Blades, The Sibling Rivals,
Timmy and the Timebombs,
Murry
Woods and Tangled Blue, (the
late) Junior
Medlow, The Lords of Love (with the late Jesse Taylor), Black Coffee,
Natalie Zoe,
Memphis Train, Joanna Howerton, L.A.
Jones and the Blues Messengers,
The Doc Hogan Band, The DellTones, Malachi,
Derral
Gleason,
the
River City Jazz
Group,
Binary Spirals, Elliott
Fikes and Soul Serenade, Contrafact,
Alibi, Texaz Tango, The
Joseph Monyer Band, The Russell K
Shores Project, and many more.
With these bands, I've also gotten to share the stage with bands such as
Bobby Blue Bland, Storyville, the Booze Weasels (Joe Ely's band),
and Human Rights (ex-Bad Brains singer H.R.).
Prior to all of this, yeah I was a schooled percussionist (ok, band geek)
where I learned to read music, play ratamacue's and pataflaflas and
I performed
in concert & symphonic settings. I also played snare
drum in high school and college level marching (corps-style) bands.
My style tends to
steer toward the side of "less is more" or "groove" drumming
(unless requested otherwise of course). I can read charts (and
sometimes chicken scratch),
play to loops, copy your programmed part, or I will listen to
your song and attempt to compose a part that feels good.
I'm easy to work with, open to your feedback, and will do my best to find the exact sound
and feel you are looking for.
I've worked with a lot of
artists through the magic of the internet and then also many in my local
area. Some of those can be found
here and others can be found on the
samples page.
