I'm a drummer. I have been for a long time. I do recording sessions, teach a few drum lessons and play in lots of bands in Nashville, TN. I'm currently playing with The Long Players, Guilty Pleasures, Aquavelvet, Twelve Against Nature (a Steely Dan Experience), The Floating Men, Knowing Me Knowing You (the music of ABBA) and a few more. (See my calendar for shows and times)....Oh, and I used to be in Human Radio, if you're old enough to remember. I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting recording projects, and I'm currently working on building a home studio which will allow me to put live drum tracks on your project. Drop me a line.
The songs in my player are all from various studio projects that I'm proud to have played drums on. The Floating Men have released not one, but TWO new CDs, as part of the rock opera "The Sighing Hours". Act I is titled "No Clocks No Calendars" and Act II is "Swimming With Gods".
Leticia Wolf is a VERY impressive new artist from Chattanooga, and her new CD was produced by Mark Hornsby.
The Lost Trailers are enjoying success with their new BNA release "Holler Back". I was threatened by Myspace when I tried to upload a track I played on, so go to the Lost Trailers page & listen to "Hey Baby".
Julian Dawson is a brilliant singer/songwriter (and guitarist and harmonica player!) from Somerset, England. This track is from his latest (Dan Penn produced) CD.
Jolie Holliday is a wonderful Dallas based country artist with a large regional following. This track is from an upcoming CD produced by two of Nashville's top music producers, Ron and Blake Chancey. Ron, who has produced over twenty-five 1 hits over the years, is both a Grammy and CMA award winner while son Blake has received two CMA's and produced the Dixie Chicks Song of the Year “Wide Open Spaces” and album of the year "Fly.”
Kevin Moore is one of my favorite power-poppers who too many of you are probably unaware of. He released an indie CD called "What The Hell Happened" a few years ago.
Check out my videos in the blog for a good laugh. Check out any of my top 8 friends to hear more tracks I've done, or see my discography in the blog section.
FRIENDS???: If you want me to be your "friend", please also send a message and tell me a little bit about who you are, or how we know each other. (especially if your profile is private!) If you don't, don't get your feelings hurt if I deny you.
