ABOUT

I have played guitar for 50 years and Dobro fo 10.

Having learned the usual bluegrass and country stuff I became bored with its predictability and over the past 3 years have been working on Hot Club style gypsy jazz and swing on the Dobro.

I'm looking for like minded instrumentalists to play with and ultimately form a gigging band. I'm also available to play Dobro or steel guitar as a session musician.
