Electric Acoustic

Biography

Stalefish

My first band was established in Daytona Beach Florida in 1991 with a very talented percussionist by the name of Dave Kiel. Our collaboration was instantly vibrant and unique, eluding to the band Stalefish. Within four years we were nominated twice for Independent Release of the Year and Guitarist of the Year.

Reflect release

With providing music for Surfer Magazine and sharing stages with acts like Marilyn Manson and Less than Jake, we were inspired to another level resulting in the release of Reflect in 1995. As Atlantic records took interest in the band with the single "Cave," the band decided to relocate to Tempe, AZ in late 1996. With family complications and our tragic loss of Mike Aronson, all members of the band remained in Florida except myself. Missing my musical brethren deflated my interest for over a year to start another project. But as my passion for music resurfaced, I met another incredible percussionist, Rick Ellefson. We created Dug Lawelon, inspired by the Peoples Court television show. Get it?

Glide

Our musical journey resulted in tours of the Midwest and winning the VH1 Unsigned Artist contest in 2002 with our song "Pickles" receiving almost 19,000 downloads! We were also blessed when Luis Gonzales of the AZ Diamondbacks used this song as his warm up at the plate for the '02 season! During this time I became interested in acoustic performance and songwriting. Five songs based on life experiences came out of the mental closet resulting in my first independent release titled Glide (2005).

Ambiguous Tone

As more typical life complications presented themselves and the Dug project fizzled, I relocated to Northern Arizona in 2005. My band Ambiguous Tone released a 3 song EP in the summer of 2007 featuring "Stuck Between."

Flux

In the fall of 2008 I collaborated with Rob Knapp and began creating some moody, cinematic electronic music with rock influences. After several months we created a six-song EP titled Flux. We are currently pursuing work in film, television and games. Our next EP titled Brava is currently in production.

Enough about me. Listen and hopefully enjoy....
