My influences . . .
. . . in 1976 I got to see Jeff Beck play liveā¦ from then on I knew I wanted to play in a band.
Mostly self taught, I play in a style reminiscent of
- Eric Clapton
- Carlos Santana
- JJ Cale & Stevie Ray Vaughan
also more electric Blues styles like
- Freddie King
- Magic Sam
- Muddy Waters and Elmore James.
Living in South Florida, early on, I played in a lot of Southern Rock bands covering songs by The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band and The Outlaws.
I was also a big Cream and Led Zeppelin fan as a teenager so sort of discovered Blues music from English guitar players.
These days I incorporate a lot of the styles I learned as a teenager; hopefully it comes out sounding like me
