ARTIST INFORMATION
acoustic guitar. My Dad was a professional musician for most of his young adulthood. He tried everything to get me to play something, but the spark never ignited, until that fatefull day I heard the band "Rush." I ran home and told my dad I wanted to play bass, which my dad's instrument of choice until he switched to guitar later on in his career. I learned every single song they had, but the funny thing was that I was raised on R&B and definitely on the side of disco back in the music wars. After a few Rush cover bands and sorry attempts to start one of my own, I started to travel. After discovering I was a Gypsy, having numerous adventures abroad, I returned to my home of Boston, Mass. There I was introduced to the subway and street busking music scene. I first went down there with a acoustic guitar thinking "what could I possibly do with just a bass and nothing else?" Then a friend gave me a delay pedal, and like the day of discovering Rush, I discovered my own voice: My own style of playing the bass. After learning how to use the delay pedal, I developed a kind of Pink Floyd sound with a New Age twist. I was a busker in the subways of Boston on and off for twenty years. I spent my early twenties in musical bliss. The Gypsy in me was flaring up so I traveled around the US until I arrived in Seattle, WA, where I sharpened my skills and where, for the first time, I played with bands writing original music. Then it happened. Yes, big rays of light started flying all over the place, and there in the music store I found MY next level of music---The Boomerrang. Since then, nothing has been the same. My playing has elevated ten fold. I went on to do more traveling and to be in more bands. Now what has become of me??? I live in Alaska which is the my home base I come back to in between my travels abroad.
