I played professionally for about twenty years. I have performed with nearly every genre of band imaginable. I read music (I can sight read to lead sheets) but I am also comfortable picking music up by ear, which I can do quickly. I have transportation and all the equipment I need for performance, including a JBL EON speaker system. I am looking for band work and would be happy to stand in as a side man on short notice. For the past several years, I have been doing film work for independent movies, and I am comfortable composing, arranging and recording.
