Artist description The epitomy of the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none." I write and record everything entirely by myself. All instruments and vocals, recording and mastering all done in what used to be my bed room. I just wound up with so much gear, that the bed had to go!

Music Style Pop/Rock

Musical Influences Everything from AC/DC to ZZ Top, and now Alien Ant Farm to Zebrahead

Artist History I started writing and recording in 1985, a majority of my music has an 80's sound. Some music shows a little blues influence. I have played with many different local bands, and look forward to the next band project after the next CD is complete, or something like that. Due to a broken index finger on my left hand, the recording of the next CD had been delayed for some time. Then, also being plagued with studio transition problems, which I am happy to say, are all resolved. Poolside productions is now equipped with a completely digital 64 track (and then some) recording and mastering facility. Look for new tracks to be hitting the web site soon with a new and more aggressive sound.

Group Members Me, I play all instruments. I used to use some electronic percussion, but have since gone to a full acoustic set, and a good set of mics. I play only Ibanez electric guitars, and currently play a Martin 5 string bass.(yes, Martin makes basses).The keyboards I use are various Yamaha keyboards, from a DX-9 to a PSR-520.

Instruments Guitar, Bass, Drums, some keys.

Albums Greatest Demo Hits, TechYes (techno music) and a new CD hopefully around April 2003
