As far back as can remember I’ve enjoyed music. As a child my mom
would to take me to rummage sales and pick up old 45’s to listen to
while playing. I was exposed to everything from the Stones to Barry
Manilow. I was instantly hooked.
Throughout high school I continued to jam with friends who shared the
same passion. Though nothing ever materialized, I had the opportunity
to play with some very talented musicians and learned how to play in
the context of a band.
Once in college, I was in a 4 piece band called Questionable
Innocence. It was often difficult to find a safe and warm place to
practice, but we managed to secure a location in Fort Atkinson (as long
as we pushed the car back in the garage when finished). Once again, I
was fortunate enough to play with some seriously talented musicians.
In 1994 I recorded a CD with my band Vibe Tribe. After a meeting with
one of the DJ’s at New Rock 102.1, we received radio play for our song
“Girl in the Picture” and were asked to perform live on the air. We
continued as a band for most of the 90’s.
In 2003 I helped to form a band called Blackbird Seat. This was by far
the most successful of all the bands I’ve worked with. The talent level in
Blackbird was exceptional and we were fortunate enough to play quite
often around the state.
In 2010 I auditioned for Altered State and landed the gig. I can’t wait to
see where things go from here…….
