Artist description Style can best be described as dynamic with a strong melodic sense and feel for song structure. Having sat in with artists in all stages of their musical growth, the importance of good rythmn/meter became obvious. Simplicity can be key. Mix in some tasteful fills, and you'll start to see the recipe of my musical stylings!

Artist History Through my musical time in Seattle, I've had the opportunity to play in several bands around the area. These have run the gamut from "3-Weeks Left" (jamish, blues rock), "Sweet Tea" (now Orange, a poppy mix of rock and psychedalia), "Eight Ways of Ingrid" (out and out rock), and "Free Reign" (blues and 60's covers). Haven't been back to a formal practice with the last yet, but "negotiations are still in progress." As of late have spent some time playing gigs/jams with the "Eric Scott Band" at Tiki Bobs in downtown Seattle. Some of my more memorable gigs have included opening up for former local band Napiers Bones while in "3-Weeks Left." Basically my first gig, and we jumped right into playing in front of a full house of 150+. The fans expected them to start at 9, little did they know we would be there. I don't think we dissapointed. During my stint with "Sweet Tea," played venues ranging from a benefit concert for the Seattle ALS Society, to the Freemont Street Fair, The Elysian Brewery, and the "Bite of Seattle." Not currently playing with any band consistently, but making efforts to get back there. Now currently playing with Stella Rossa with gigs most every weekend! Come out and check it out! Either way, I can be found regularly out and about the Seattle area, sitting in with all manner of artists, and spending time honing my chops at many of the local blues, rock, and jazz jams.

Group Members Not so much members, but now I am a member of Stella Rossa. Check out the website, and come see a show!

Additional Info While the musical samples I've included on this page should give some idea of my style, please keep in mind that these are pretty rough takes. Keep checking back and listening as the creases get ironed out!
