I'm very fortunate to be able to work doing what I love. I've made my living for over three decades playing the guitar. Many one nighters, a lot of hard work, a lot of long nights, long flights, endless drives, but still the same joy as the day I started. I've played everywhere from Edna's Chicken Shack to the Vienna Opera House. I've been playing guitar with rock n' roll legend, Little Richard, for fourteen years, Grammy award winning band, The Amazing Rhythm Aces, off and on, for twelve years. I also play with a great band here in Muscle Shoals called "The Decoys". I've been with them for almost twenty years. Check em all out here on the Space. I also do recording sessions, and i've had the oppurtunity to record with some of my favorite artists.
I've had the good fortune to play live or in the studio with, Bobby"Blue" Bland, Gregg Allman, Jimmy Hall, Little Richard, Tina Turner, Bo Diddley, Dan Aykroyd, James Belushi, Billy Bob Thornton, Klaus Voormann, Don Nix, Jerry Joseph, The Drive By Truckers, Bettye Lavette, Marty Stuart, Donnie Fritts, Lee Roy Parnell, John Fogerty, The Amazing Rhythm Aces, Tony Joe White, Percy Sledge, Little Milton, Ruth Brown, Billy Preston, Russell Smith, Marty Raybon, T. Graham Brown, Steve "Bubba" Bassett, Chuck Leavell, Eddy Mitchell, Johnny Haliday, The Decoys, The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, Phil Driscoll, Kris Kristofferson, Billy Swan, Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham, Jerry "Boogie" McCain, B.B King, James Brown, Bonnie Bramlett, Bekka Bramlett, Ron Wood, Reggie Young, James Burton, David Foster, Ricky Minor, Sheila E., Beth Nielson Chapman, Tommy Shaw, Aslyn, Paul Thorn, Jerry Butler, Lloyd Price, Steve Cropper, Booker T., Tommy Talton, The Oak Ridge Boys, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Wilson Pickett, The Commodores, Lionel Ritchie, Eddie Hinton, Eddie Floyd, William Lee Golden, Waylon Jennings, Tim Wilson, Delbert McClinton, Clarence Carter, and a lot of great musicians!
