I'm currently rocking in two of the most amazingly brutal bands in the region! I play rhythm guitar for STILLFire and I'm the drummer for Seraphica. I try to keep myself as diverse a musician as possible. I play a wide range of styles and I just try to write from the heart. My music often takes on the characteristics of whatever emotions I am going through in that moment and when something clicks I just let it stick ... no rhyme intended:). I've been playing drums since I was 11 and guitar since I was 12 ... Recently I have actually been playing a lot more bass. Being a versatile musician is very important to me. Music comes in as many varieties as there are people in the world and my goal is to try to relate to any and everyone I can. I never limit myself or box myself to just one style of music. I'm into everything that resonates in my spirit, be it metal, alternative, acoustic, hip hop, jazz, country, classical ... the list goes on. I have respect for technical skill but I believe there's more to being a guitar player than knowing the ins and outs of your technical prowess. I am more influenced by guys like Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk than Eddie Van Halen and Satriani. I express myself through my instrument. I'm not interested in wowing people with how fast I can fingertap and pull off scales. That's why the world has dudes like Yngwie Malmsteen. Stylistically, one of my favorite players is Carlos Santana. Contact me for any questions comments or bookings. cell- 541 514 3302

Nice! Dude, Red is so amazing. So how did your day go? by the way, sorry if I sound like an obsessed fan it's just the first time I'v met sombody from a band that ACTUALLY talk to people.
I Love their sound. Glad you like them.........I love the rawness of the beginning guitar folowed by the heaviness Sounds kinda like my favorite boys Alice in Chains...................I'm going to see Candlebox on June 18 in a great little club in Dewey Beach De here where a lot of big name bands play here. I can't wait. I've seen them before and they are one of my favorites......Kevin Martin is a real good front man. The original band is back together which is great for fans like me. $100 gets VIP pass with meet the band soundcheck pictures T Shirt backstage pass. I'm thinking about doing that. I can't wait until you make it big. You have the talent and your break will come I know it. Just keep on doing your thing.................Later O' nephew of mine.............
