Every old blues guy playing as fast as they can at once!
Born in Louisville, KY with Bluegrass in my blood, I moved to Texas with my mom after my parents divorce. I'd been around music my entire life so by the age of 4 (when I got my first guitar) I'd already decided my goal in life was the endless pursuit to be a Rock and Roll guitarist and musician just like Jimi Hendrix. Shortly after the move to Texas when I was at the age of 6, my mom brought me a Stevie Ray Vaughan album. After listening to every song I was hooked. I now own every Stevie Release, DVD, CD, and some Vinyl! I was and am a die-hard Stevie fan! He was a wonderful and very talented person! After discovering Stevie I began to dig deeper and deeper into the world of BLUES! I'm a blues freak! The more dirty it gets, the better I like it! My blues influences include Howlin Wolf, Hound Dog Taylor, Jimmy Reed, Slim Harpo, T-Bone, Hop Wilson and many, many more! Although being a serious blues fanatic I still widened my listening to country, hip hop, bluegrass, Rock, Rockabilly, punk, surf, FUNK a lotta Funk! Theres sooo much out there! For the last 13 I've been playing around San Antonio and the surrounding areas with many bands such as The Krybabies, Tony "TONE" Cuellar, Henry & Roy Perez-The Rythem Kings, Spot Barnett, Gilbert "Big Daddy" ""Shuffle King"" Gonzales, Bluesland, Benny Harp, Mitch Webb & The Swindles, Los 3 Dinners, W.C. Clark, Reverend Horton Heat, Tim Krekel, The Dust Devils, Ollin, Blues4Sale, Rob Roy Parnell, The Krayolas, Oh So Good Band, Jay Boy Adams, Lee Roy Parnell, Toat Lee Blues, S.A. Blue Cats, King Pelican, Miss Neesie and The Ear Food Orchestra, After Midnight Blues Band, theres more I need to add! And after 13 years of payin' dues, I'm still payin' em'! So while I'm still in S.A., check the calendar and come on out! I'm currently done recording and still playing with The SOUTH TEXAS DESTROYERS. The album is done and for sale at the destroyers gigs, along with shirts. So come check us out and grab a copy!
