Artist History Most current recording project - COVENSTEAD - began in Spring of 1995, when Al met Sean Smith in one of his rare DAY classes at college ... Ironically, they hung around together for a few months before either realized that they were both musicians! Once they did though, a flow of one creative idea after another ensued for the next few years. We're STILL trying to sift through all of the best of it and arrange it into an album ... In March of 2000, joined the classic rock local performing band "Search."

Instruments keyboards and lead vocals; guitar
