| My Background
I have over 40 years of experience performing, writing and producing music in a wide variety of genres. My music has been featured on film, TV shows, and in countless album projects. I own and am proficient at: acoustic, electric and classical guitar, acoustic and electric bass guitar, pedal steel, mandolin, banjo, piano, organ, various percussion instruments including Roland V-drums, jembe, bongos, kalimba, soprano, alto and tenor saxophone, Bb and bass clarinet, standard and Native American flute, as well as vocals. I excel at bringing out the best in other artists' music, and hope I'll have the chance to help make your project exceed your expectations. Save Money I can save you money by covering multiple parts on multiple instruments. This reduces the number of session players you need to hire. I have my own ProTools studio so you don't have to pay for studio time on top of multiple artist fees to get your tracks done. I can send your tracks to other studios you are working with or produce your entire track myself, all for $50/hour. Most other studios charge at least $50/hour for use of their studio, and session musicians charge anywhere from $50 to $100 per hour per musician. I can provide most of these services for a fraction of the cost. How It Works
You send me an mp3/cd/tape of your song. This can be a melody, a home studio mix or a mix from a studio you're working with. I can even create a song from a set of lyrics. If you're looking for a certain style just give me an example and I'll use it as a reference. You can tell me the instruments you want or let me decide what to add. I can send you mp3's of my progress so that you can suggest changes or approve my work. Finally, I can give you a finished CD quality version of your song or give the recording studio you're working with the individual instrument tracks.
Guaranteed My work is completely guaranteed. If you don't like the work I've done, you don't have to pay for it. It's that simple. And if I feel I can't do the track justice I will let you know right away, so there are no delays in completing your project. | |

Reason East West Strings | | Sample Tracks Album Projects (selected) Frankie and I have been working together for 30 years and have collaborated on TV, movies and CD projects. In this tune I play two guitar parts and Frankie sings to the track. Often I find the chords to Frankie's melodies and write the bridge. All lyrics by Frankie. Fall In Love I met Tiffany through Carl and have worked with her for the last few years. I love her stuff and usually get guitar and vocal from her to put tracks to. In this track I play pedal steel, mandolin, bass and piano. The tracks were sent to her studio to mix. Before After I recently met Riley and we are having lots of fun with his writing. In Dark Waters Run I took his guitar and vocal and added soprano sax, piano, bass, percussion, pedal steel and background vocals. Before After Carl and I have played together for 40 years. I have added many parts to his CD projects and lately have been adding a lot of pedal steel to his tracks.
