I’m originally from Carpentersville, Illinois, and I now reside in the greater metropolitan Scales Mound, Illinois, area. I’ve been playing music out in clubs for nearly 40 years now. Yikes. My first love is blues, especially thirties and forties styles. I also play a variety of other traditional forms of American music, including twenties Tin Pan Alley and jazz, bluegrass, early country, cowboy, and whatever else strikes me.
