Bio
SOLO: What began as simple solo acoustic performances many years ago, has slowly transformed into an arsenal of instruments and effects, blended together live with a loop sampler to create a wall of sound that most full bands can't compete with. With constant additions of technology and an "anything goes" attitude towards music styles, I create a sonic experience that anyone can enjoy and relate to. Come see it live and watch the magic unfold before your eyes and ears... .. .. WARREL DANE: I have the great honor of playing guitar with one of the world's best metal vocalists, Warrel Dane of the legendary bands Nevermore and Sanctuary. The group is made up of some of Seattle's best musicians: Matt Wicklund (of God Forbid, ex Himsa) on guitars, Willis Mathiasen on drums and Dagna Barrera on bass. My humble contribution is performing live as the 2nd guitarist/backing vocals in the touring lineup in support of his solo album, "Praises to the War Machine." Go buy the album! .. .. JAR OF FLIES: I play the sonic part of Jerry Cantrell in Seattle's premier Alice In Chains tribute. We don't wear wigs and flannel, that would just be silly since AIC was never about "image." Instead we chose to focus on the music, recreating ever possible nuance in a live setting, intended to sound EXACTLY like the recordings. And we do it very well, thank you! .. .. OUTSHINED: As a natural extension of our love for the best Seattle bands, the same core group that makes up Jar Of Flies teamed up with vocalist Kevin Hoffman to do the ultimate tribute to Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog. And we definitely do the music justice! In this lineup, I play mostly rhythm guitars and do lots of backup vocals, letting JT Phillips do the crazy Kim Thayl guitar lead work. .. .. ASTROCREEP: Out of the darkness, the Zombie did call... We answered by putting together a killer tribute to White Zombie and the best of Rob Zombie's solo work. I get to sing and run around like a madman while the band rocks the hell out of the music. And like my other groups, we play the songs spot on, even recreating all the samples and effects! In addition, we actually dress the part and do a lot of theatrics to complete the whole psycho stage experience! -
