Artist description
I'm a big Delta Blues fan, so that's what my music is based on. It's mostly just me, singing along with my Dobro resonator guitar, while blowing mouth harp on a neck rack, and pounding a bass drum and hi-hat. If you like raw, energetic, passionate blues with a touch of humor, you're in the right place! |

Artist History
I started playing in garage bands when I was 14. I'm 52 now, and I still haven't quit! Played drums, keyboards, bass, or guitar in a bunch of bar bands, including The Bubbleheads, and Cacophany and the Piss-Tanks! Played polkas, waltzes, country, rock and roll (of course!), cocktail lounge piano, classical, show tunes, reggae, R&B, etc. etc. etc.! I love it all, but it's always been the blues that turned me on the most. I love playing acoustic Delta style - hope you enjoy listening! |
