I live in Chicago. I'm a studio/touring guitarist and bassist for hire doing sessions for commercials, recording projects and tours. I'm currently playing bass for Alison Breitman, i. e. Cheatham and Cracklin Moth and guitar with Grammar. I once helped a lady deliver a baby in a Starbucks bathroom. You may have heard about it. It was on CNN and The Today Show. My cat is probably cooler than you.
