Not every gig is mine to lead. That's me covering bass with Vilous Fox & The Usual Suspects at Wood's in Salida — on a guitar, run through the one-man-band board, which turns it into bass, guitar, or synth as the song needs. Holding down the low end, locking in with the drummer, and letting someone else take the lead. Catch us there the first and third Tuesday of every month.

If you need help realizing your musical goals, let's talk. Maybe your band needs a guitar or bass player for a gig or a handful of dates. Maybe you've got a song that's stuck and needs another set of ears. Maybe it's finished and you want to hear it as a real recording. I've been playing for more than 40 years, produced for Funky Enough Records in Los Angeles in 1990–1991, and today I've got the gear, a solid home studio, and the time — tell me what you're after and we'll see if I can help.

How I Can Help

Live Player

Guitar or bass

A fill-in for a gig, a short run of dates, or a recording session — booked per gig, no long-term commitment. I learn your material, show up prepared, and play for the song. One board covers both instruments — I swap the preamp pedal for whichever role you need.

Co-Writing

Songs & arrangements

Stuck on a bridge, a chorus that won't land, or a song that's all verse? Bring what you have. I'll help find the missing part, shape the arrangement, and help you realize your vision.

Production & Demos

Home studio

Cut a demo to pitch venues, send to bandmates, or just hear the song for real. Vocals through a large-diaphragm condenser, guitar, bass, keys, and programmed drums, produced and mixed in Logic Pro.

Studio Work

From 2018 to 2024 my focus was songwriting and production, working with artists like Eric Krause, Steve D. Wilson, and Cinco Barnes. Here's what that sounds like.
