Recently relocated from NY to SoCal. Been fronting and singing in blues bands since I'm 14. Mostly originals mixed with a handful of quirky covers. Headlined the main stage at BB Kings Blues Club/NYC in March, 2015. Looking to recapture that high on the West Coast. I take this sh*t pretty seriously -- seriously fun. Let's do this thing.
