ABOUT

I'm a 29 year old guitarist. I’ve been playing professionally for thirteen years, covering all sorts of events from musicals and corporate functions, to weddings and rock/blues club gigs. I am a reading musician which I learnt when I took to playing the trumpet at a young age. While my main instrument is guitar I also play some keyboards and provide backing and lead vocals as and when required. Some notable people that I worked with are The American Drifters and Pat McManus of Mama’s Boys. I have a page where you can find some more information and pictures.

Influences

I have a very ecclectic taste in music ranging from Big Band and Swing Music through to Country to Rock and Blues. To name some artists and bands I like to listen to reguarly are
Etta James, Glen Miller, Toto, Steely Dan, Tower of Power, Brad Paisley, Brent Mason, Kris Kristofferson, Queen, Bruno Mars, Sugarland, Band Perry, Larry Carlton, Joe Bonamassa, Zac Brown Band, The Feeling, Rooster.

While this is a very compressed list of my influences I think it shows the divergence in styles of music that I try to learn from and incorporate into my approach to music and songs that I am playing.

EQUIPMENT

My current on stage set up consists of two Music Man Luke guitars through a Boss GT-10 Effects Processor and amplified through a Marshall AVT 275 2X12 Combo. When I have to play acoustically I use a Tanglewood 12 string and/or 6 string Acoustic guitar.

I have a selection of other amplifiers I can use should the venue or other requirements call for it. They are a Roland Cube, a 1970’s Marshall 100W Super Lead through a Marshall 1936 2x12 cab and a Vox AC30. I also have a Line 6 pod 2.0 available to use.

When it comes to other guitars available I have a Burns Brian May signature, Ibanez, Washburn and Vintage available.
