From behind the keys at Higher Hands shows, to his family band The Befuddlers, as solo guitarist for weddings and corporate events, as classical pianist, or as a session saxophonist, he finds his home in all things musical.

Services
Private Instruction:
- Private lessons on any of the following instruments. I focus on practical theory and tecnique, and have taught since 1998. I could teach you “All Along the Watchtower,” but I’d rather show you all the possibilities you can unravel within a tonality, and show you how to execute every performance with precision and inspiration. I like to encourage individuality, and not to propagate musical clones.
- My rate is $30 for a 45-minute lesson
- Piano, Guitar, Bass, Mandolin, Banjo
Studio Work:
- I have a home studio where I can provide audio and midi files of performances to paste into any DAW remotely.
