A bit of all of the above sprinkled with Tony Roberts
Originally from Boston, MA now based in Key West, FL, and the former lead singer of the band, Mindflow. Singer/songwriter stuff ala Ben Harper and Jack Johnson- I play a lot of gigs as an acoustic duo or trio but have a bad ass band in Boston who I get to play with in the summer and whenever else we can make it work-
