Been playing and writing music my whole life.My early influences were Beatles, Byrds,Stones,Who,Yardbirds, Buffalo Springfield,The Band,Bob Dylan,Neil Young,Ry Cooder,John Hammond,John Mayall,Eric Clapton,Duane Allman. Dug back further to find Tampa Red, Lightnin' Hopkins, Muddy Waters,Buddy Guy,Charlie Christian,Mose Allison, Django Reinhart and the list goes on. Worked for a year when I was 22 to buy a Martin D-28(still have it) and never looked back. Had a few hits in Canada and one top 30 in the USA before they sold the Record Company and that was the end of that. I've opened for a lot of great acts but the highlight has to be The Byrds when I was just out of school. I got to sit in their dressing room next to Clarence White for an hour while they warmed up acoustically and they didn't boot me out. Thanks Roger. I love writing, recording and performing and have had a few people record my songs including the lovely Patricia Conroy. I got a co-write on Murray MacLaughlin's Gulliver's Taxi CD (I Put Away My Gun) and played the solo on it which was cool as I'd always been a fan. Also produced a cd for my friend Mark Browning (Ox) a couple years back.I played some lead guitar for One Horse Blue , Jann Arden, and the Cruzeros but lately I've been hangin' close to home and studio.
I love Canada and my shack in the woods by the beach up the coast. I'm working on a couple cds . one solo acoustic and one with my friends in the bands Shirttail Relatives and The Rockin' Hoodoos to be released under God knows what name. Stay tuned. Oh, and by the way.
