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.
