Bio:
Hey everybody. I'm an American blues guitar player/singer/songwriter. I grew up in a small town in western Maryland but I've spent the last five years living in Los Angeles. I just recently relocated to Tokyo Japan where I am going to school, studying Japanese. The Tokyo music scene is off the hook, and it's definitely one of the most exciting places to live. I started playing guitar at age 11 and started playing out at clubs at 13. Now I'm 24 and I couldn't think of a single thing I'd rather do than play music. Although I'm mostly a blues/rock guy I dig all styles of music. Some of my favorite stuff is Jimi Hendrix, Albert King, Sly and the Family Stone, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Shuggie Otis, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Freddie King, James Brown, Edgar and Johnny Winter, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Graham Central Station, Ray Charles, Bill Withers, Albert Collins, Leon Russell, Little Feat, the Allman Brothers Band...and the list goes on and on. I love living in the city, playing the clubs and going to see great live music. My favorite guitar players out right now are Mike Landau, Derek Trucks, Robben Ford, Chris Cain, Kirk Fletcher, Eric Gales, and Masashi Hara. Some of my other interests include baking, sleeping, and laughing at things most people take seriously.

Other Entertainment:
I could write something poignant and agonizingly bitter about how television is sucking the braincells out of today's missguided youth and how television, the internets and mtv have turned us into zombie serfs in the new facist feudal system, but then maybe you wouldn't WATCH THIS totally badass video of me and my sweet band.
