Music

I have been a professional musician for over twelve years, playing music all over the west coast.  I have traveled around the country, including several trips to Nashville, to study with some of the greatest musicians in the world.  I currently work as a freelance musician in Portland, playing with artists all over the area and in a variety of styles, from blues to jazz to dance music.

I am primarily an electric bassist but I also play the guitar and a little drums.  Here are some recordings I have done featuring myself on the electric bass.

Naiya - 2.6 MB  
This is an original piece inspired by a dear friend of mine.  It was written and recorded late in 2011 and I am playing all the instruments.
   
Jazz Ballad - 7.4 MB
I wrote and arranged this song years ago, and it took quite some time to get it into the studio!  My good friend John Sugg is playing drums, and I recruited the amazing Scott Pemberton to "rock the git-fiddle."  

Solo Recordings

All of these songs were recorded solo in my home studio.
