ABOUT
I'm a busy semi-pro musician and songwriter who works predominently in the american roots genres. I sing and play harmonica, slide guitar, mandolin, sqeezebox and lap steel. Not looking to join or form a band at the moment - I already have four on the go - but I'm always open for any session work whether that's on stage or in the studio. So if you need any buesy/rootsy instruments on your recording then get in touch :)
