ABOUT

Presently play guitar in 4-peice alt rock band Copperworm; the 4 = guitar/vox, guitar [me], bass, drums. Copperworm's new album was released 24th March 2023 called PiLOT. Find us on Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple, Deezer, YouTube, etc.

NOTE: AS OF JANUARY 2024 WE ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW BASS-PLAYER; WE HAVE A GOOD STAND-IN PLAYER TO COVER FOR NOW, BUT ARE LOOKING FOR A PERMANENT REPLACEMENT - FIND US ONLINE IN THE USUAL PLACES, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED THEN CONTACT ME HERE.

I also play guitar in covers band Acoustic Outlawz and the alter ego Electric Outlawz (same band but with electric guitars and a drummer). We do rock covers, "MTV Unplugged" style when in Acoustic Outlawz guise.

Also founder and guitarist in rock band Atakarma Giants, but the band is currently "on hold" for various reasons.

Also play bass and guitar in worship bands.
