A Scozzie
Acoustic/Covers/Blues Guitarist,singer, entertainer
Born in South Australia and growing up in a house steeped in Australian rock tradition, I have been around music my whole life. Going from crawling amongst amps and drum kits as a baby to being inducted into the South Australian Music Hall of Fame (as a member of legendary S.A band "The Others") is a long journey and has provided a few memorable gigs on the way.
I have recorded an album at Melbourne's "Sing Sing" studios with Australian music legend Joe Camilleri producing, played guitar on several recording projects and performed over 2000 live gigs. Expressive guitar and soaring vocals are my trademarks, playing to all kinds of audiences across Australia with numerous bands. I recently had the pleasure of accompanying Nikki Jensen at the Tanks, showcasing songs from her debut EP, which is due for release soon.
I am taking time out to pursue a solo project, writing songs and exploring musical themes that everyone can relate too, love, loss and possibly drinking too much.
A catalogue of songs and stories from Roots music, Rock N Roll and the Blues means there is something for everyone, except die hard fans of opera and death metal.

| Gig Highlights |
| Playing an outdoor gig when space junk broke up during one of our songs. Every one went "ooooh" as green fire streaked across the sky. Then we jumped straight back into the song where we left off. Every one was buzzed and it was a great gig. |
