Musical Journey

Who've I Played With, And When

Through years of dedication, I have worked tirelessly to perfect my skills as a musician, despite starting with very little knowledge of performing live music. Countless hours spent in the studio, as well as practicing at home, have allowed me to carve out a place for myself in the musical community. Every moment spent honing my craft has been crucial in shaping me into the artist I am today. The journey has not been easy, but the passion and determination to succeed have driven me forward, leading me to connect with a ton of vibrant and supportive fellow musicians. I am grateful for the opportunities that have come my way, and eager to continue to grow, develop, and foster new connections too!

Experience

Rhythm guitarist -- Smoked Rose

So much more than just another guitarist, I've learned to become a true performer, regardless of the stage and/or audience size. Here are a few notable projects that I've been involved with over the years.

Band Histories

Auditioned and joined in the fall of 2021, the all-original pop/punk band taught me how to get loud. Having performed on a semi-regular basis from the spring of 2022 thru the fall of that year, the band took a break to write and record new material. After months of rehearsing, planning, and putting the new album together, we've finally released the first single and plan on performing more regularly the fall of 2024.

Auditioned and joined in the spring of 2021, this project was all about rock n' roll and having fun. Although the group never fully found that special chemistry, we had a notable gig headlining at Dingbatz in Clifton. The band broke-up shortly thereafter.

My first band, and the outlet for much of my singer/songwriter ambitions. The Ruckets were an alternative rock trio that played regularly from the beginning of 2019 until a little over a year later, when Covid struck in 2020. During the shutdown period, I continued to write and record some new material; which is finally getting professionally produced, and will be released in the fall of 2024.

Lead guitarist -- The Bottom Most

Frontman -- The Ruckets

Although The Bottom Most are still going strong, I've branched out into a new direction as a solo artist. My vibe fits well with most brewery/distillery taprooms, and other similar craft-watering holes. Song material typically includes a mix of covers and original songs, and my performances are typically acoustic. Most of the material I post on YouTube are from these shows.
