ABOUT

If you need a guitarist or a vocalist for gigs, tours or recording sessions get in touch. My vocal style is very much in the Tom Waits, Dr John, Captain Beefheart vein. I’ve been playing guitar for 35 years and I’m always looking for different gig opportunities around the Sydney area.
I specialise in blues, jazz, country, all types of rock, surf, secret agent, spaghetti western, and all sorts of other stuff.
I’ve got a decent set of ears and can comfortably sit in with just about any band with a minimum amount of fuss or rehearsal. Shoot me a list of your songs and I’ll get myself prepared.
