GUITARIST WITH HOUSEHOLD NAME CREDITS SEEKS WALK IN COVER GIGS

GUITARIST WITH HOUSEHOLD NAME CREDITS SEEKS MORE COVER GIGS

I am a guitarist, and musical director that has played live or recorded as the guitarist or musical director for greater than 40 gold and platinum award-winning artists. The Village Voice named me the “New York Guitar Guru” and I hear that Rolling Stone Magazine even called me “the best new guitar player in a decade,” but I have never actually read this article, so don’t quote me. You may own my recordings or have seen me on the Time-Life Video Series, VH-1, PBS, HBO, or Entertainment Tonight. You may have seen me live at venues ranging from Madison Square Garden to the America West Arena or Hartford Civic Center. You may have heard me with major rock and blues artists (not to mention a whole slew of famous 60’s acts and some R&B/disco stars of the late 70’s many years after their heyday). When I hit Nashville from New York in 2005, I was a hired guitar gun for Nashville Star (someone was needed that could rock, I was hired again for some work again the next year). After I completed my release of historical instrumental guitar music for Sony and played on the GuitarSlingers Tour (there is a video you can buy at Sam Ash or Guitar Center if there are any left, hopefully you won’t find me on YouTube or Vimeo, it is illegal) I had been doing a lot of work for Disney in the studio and playing live cover gigs for fun in Southern California but moved back to Nashville because I liked living there before I moved. I now live in Southern Illinois for reasons that have nothing to do with music.

No gig to large or too small. I prefer to play covers unless you have very well written charts. Obviously, this isn’t about needing work. After playing full-time in NYC for 17 years, and Nashville for 9 years, I moved to Southern California and did Disney Sessions and played with local cover bands (because I like playing live).
I don’t work for free or do benefits as a matter of principle but I don’t care about the amount of pay. I don’t jam with people or do anything other than play gigs. If you want guitar lessons or industry advice, please visit my webpage.
