I'm a full-time musician who has and is performing with a few folks you've heard of, as well as scores of deserving folks you've not heard hide nor hair of, as well as seceret blues jams with Mike Semple. But don't tell anyone 'bout that, k?
I play the Pedal Steel guitar, Guitar-guitar, Dobro, as well as a little Mandolin, Bass and will be drivin' my neighbors crazy trying to learn the trumpet. I may dabble with the Zither my Wife bought me when the pshycosis from the first few years of pedal steel learning subsides.....
I am Currently available for live and studio work, as well as production of cool-sounding projects.
I was raised in Seattle, and am in the long, slow and painful process of growing up here in Los Angeles.
I do a bit of studio work for various artists and projects, as well as music for television and films when I'm not on the road with the likes of Eddie Spaghetti, Supersuckers, Carter Falco or Ted Kamp among others.
Production-wise, I prefer:
Free, ZZ Top, Ry Cooder, Buddy Miller, James Carr and artists like them over just about anyone....
I'll be adding songs from my resume as I get the time. I am currently in pre-production for my own album of instrumental music aimed at use in visual productions of all types, from commercials to films to live theatre, as well as general "Listening to Awesome Music" use. I try to conjer up a different little piece of the world in everything I create. I'd like for it all to be used for something, so don't be afraid to ask, all you indie theatre/filmmakers. We can usually work something out.

How's that gig going? My lil cousin LOVES her. I wish I could live down there but I am not a California girl- at all. I tried, I dig the sun and all but I like it to go the fuck away sometimes.
