I'm a bass player in Austin, TX. I love playing western swing, blues, cajun, country, rockabilly, soul, zydeco, RnB, reggae, etc.
Over the past six years in the wonderful town of Austin I've played gigs with Mike Dart, Woodsboss, James Hand, Six Sons of a Gun, The Biscuit Rollers, Lonesome Dave Fisher, Steve Power, Megan Bloebaum, Chadd Thomas and the Crazy Kings, The Doug Moreland Show, JW and the Prospectors, Who's Your Daddy Blues & Soul Revue, The Casey Gill Blues Band, Shorty Long, Gina Lee and her Briscuit Boys, Bo Porter, Sean Orr, Mark Rubin and his Ridgetop Syncopators, Brian Marshall, Caroline Casey, Roger Wallace, Jim Stringer, Charles Thibodeaux, Combo Mahalo, The Moonhangers, Jessie Lee Miller, Cade Callahan, and Rosie Flores. ...........................
In my hometown of Lafayette, Louisiana, I grew up with the great roots traditions of cajun and zydeco, and great blues and reggae bands that came through town. I recorded two CDs and played four years as the first bass player for the Red Stick Ramblers and the Gin & Tonics, also played gigs with the Blue Runners, The Canes, Zydeco Joe Mouton, the legendary Paul "Lil Buck" Senegal, Rockin' Dopsie, Shelton Skerret & Yaya, The Blue Marys, and CC Adcock.
.......
When I'm not playing music, I'm working for the great state of Texas, teaching English part-time at Austin Community College, exercising, fishing, and/or searching for Austin's best margaritas and honky-tonk music.
