Additional notes

I started playing guitar at twenty, "sitting in" around Chicago's blues clubs. Eventually I picked up work playing, recording, and touring the US and Canada with various blues ensembles.I've had the oppurtunity to gig at Buddy Guy's Legends, Kingston Mines, Rosa's Blues lounge, the Yale in Vancouver B.C., B.B Kings in Memphis to name a few, as well as some Music Fests around the U.S.
