I'm originally from
New York, but have been in San Francisco
long enough to feel almost
local (and have lost my
NY accent).
In addition to solo
singer/songwriter work, I play in
Gutter Swan,
and
Mad Mama and The Bona Fide
Few, and North Beach Ramblers.
I previously played in a
UFO
cover band and a
Thin Lizzy cover band.
My preference is for
Gibson
single-cutaway acoustic guitars, but I also have a soft spot for older
Guild
acoustics.
I've only recently discovered
good East-coast style
pizza in my adopted hometown.
My earliest guitar hero is
Richie Havens.
Here's why.
I'm a wimp about listening to very
loud music, and use
good ear protection when playing or seeing
amplified shows.
