Overview

I am jazz guitarist that plays in a style somewhere between John McLaughlin and Pat Metheny. My most recent record, "The Corbanator," with Harvie S, Steve Williams, and James Weidman made it to #28 on the CMJ Jazz Charts and #64 on the Roots Music Charts in 2014. I have lead band of varying sizes (duos, trios, quartets, quintets, and also solo). I also have experience as a Broadway musician called to play different styles authentically. I've worked as a guitar sub at Motown the Musical, Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark, Mary Poppins, First Date, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Radio City Christmas Spectacular, to name a few.

Influences and inspiration

As a jazz guitarist, my playing is between Wes Montgomery, John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny, Mike Stern, George Benson, and Pat Martino. As a funk guitarist, anything in the Motown lexicon is right up my alley.
