This gifted, intuitive guitarist & composer has given rise to a comprehensive body of original work. Drawing upon musical influences of very wide breadth, his transcendent style is compelling & enticing, rich with sweet acoustic lines, gritty blues rifs & everything in between. He has been affected, inspired, & swayed by artists such as The Beatles, The Stones, Django Reinhardt, Stephan Grapelli, Jeff Beck, Tom Waits, Thelonious Monk, Samuel Barber, Bob Dylan, Daniel Lanois, & Hank Williams. Heavily impressed by a large family saturated with musical talent, a natural insight & creative discernment seems to have been sewn into every fiber of his being. As he treads fearlessly into the realm of live, improvisational departures, he keeps the audience - & the rest of the band - on their toes, captive to the whims of his artistic genius.
