I have been playing on stages in Austin, Texas since I was 12. I have had the opportunity to perform shows with countless artists including: Willie Nelson, Allman Bros, Brad Paisley, Neil Young, Dave Matthews, Toby Keith, Dierks Bentley, Gary Allen, Big $ Rich, Montgomery Gentry, Matisyahu, Counting Crowes, Guster, Derek Trucks Band, Los Lonely Boys, Pat Green, Merle Haggard, Kevin Fowler, Billy Joe Shaver, John Mellencamp, Doug Sahm, Diamond Rio, Jerry Jeff Walker, Reckless Kelly, Craig Morgan, Roger Creager, David Allen Coe, Alvin Crow, Sammi Smith, Ray Price, and many others.



I worked from ages 20-23 for ZZ-Top Producer and Manager of 37 years, Bill Ham in the greate state of Texas, touring as guitarist for a pop/country outfit. I also performed session work on demos and recorded my own demos at his studio during this time.



I taught at a music school for 5 years, having taught 100's of students on guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, vocals. My most specialized task at the school was coaching kid bands and having them perform professional showcases. Search Natural Ear Music in Austin, Texas to find out more about the school.



In the most recent past I have done work for the lead singer of Skid Row, as bandleader/guitarist for his Texas Country release. I recorded an album and toured with "The Statesboro Revue", produced by Grammy winner David Z (Prince, Johnny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Gov't Mule, Etta James, Buddy Guy, etc).



I am currently the bandleader/guitarist for country artist Pauline Reese, who has a new album set to come out in the fall. I also play with Austin based blues singer Jane Bond, a country/rock cover band called Tex Erectus (Gary Nunn band plus me) and front my own rock'n'roll trio, WK3.



I play guitar, dobro, lapsteel, banjo, piano, bass, drums and sing.
