ABOUT

I'm an experienced player who has toured extensively, played to large crowds, numerous festivals, band-managing experience, marketing, booking - just about everything that comes with being part of a band. I take my playing very seriously, I do my homework, I study genres and have experimented with my own tone dozens of times over. I learned from playing along with Zeppelin, Cream and other classic rock stuff. Then I fell in love with the jamband genre - I love to engage in long, improvised jams with fluctuating energy and play between instruments. It's all about the non verbal, musical communication: this is what it's all about for me.
