I am a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist based in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. My music is based in pop and draws from rock, folk, and jazz. For most of my career, I have been known as a saxophonist.
I has played many genres of music: choirs, guitar rock, funk, rhythm and blues, big band jazz, Latin, classical saxophone, folk, hard-bop, medieval, electroacoustic music, and musical theatre pit orchestras. My career highlights include working for Carnival Cruise Lines and with various tributes to Billy Joel, Elton John, Tina Turner and Bob Seger.
I am continuing to grow, and believe that I have finally found my own style. Using the nylon string guitar as a foundation, I augment live shows with saxophone, flute, and other instruments he plays. I cover a variety of music suitable for easy-listening environments. A recent addition is a drum machine (or live drummer and bassist) for dance sets.
The Peterborough Symphony Orchestra. For over 45 years, a cultural cornerstone of the Peterborough community and a reputation as one of the finest community orchestras in Canada.
The mission of the Musicians' Association of Ottawa-Gatineau, Local 180, AFM is to defend and promote the economic, social, and professional interests of its members who are free-lance musicians, as well as musicians who are working under a collective bargaining agreement.The most important tool for defending the interests of our members is the written contract. A contract provides the musician with a document that refers to basic minimum fees set by the Musicians Association as well as minimum working conditions. Often included in these conditions is the engager's obligation to contribute to the musicians' pension fund.In addition to establishing working conditions, the Local also promotes the interests of its members by providing access to legal services and insurance plans. In exchange for these services, the members pay an annual fee and work dues. All contributions to the musician's pension plan are paid by the engager.
