Professional dobro, steel guitar, lap steel, etc.- slide overdubs, from a Grammy nominated musician. Also some banjo, acoustic guitar, ukulele and Russian balalaika. Any style and genre- from bluegrass to rock to fusion.
I have been working in Nashville for the past 20 years- at first with my Grammy nominated band Bering Strait, then with multiple artists live on tour and in the studio. In these settings I have worked with Darius Rucker, Keith Urban, Sugarland, Pat Green, Clint Black, James Otto, Lady Antebellum, etc., performed on TV programs such as Today, Good Morning America, Ellen, American Idol, the ACM, CMT and CMA Awards, night shows with Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and more.
For the last 13 years I have been a part of Darius Rucker's band, touring the world, doing TV performances, Award shows, studio work. In Darius Rucker's collaborations with other artists our band backed up Sheryl Crow, John Oats (Hall & Oats), Kenny Rogers, Charlie Pride, Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Tommy Thayer (KISS), Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn, Brad Paisley, Hardy and many more.
I record in Logic (sometimes Pro-Tools) and send you a WAV file. In some cases if there's a need for multiple instruments and/or it may take a lot more time to accomplish a very specific request my rate could change based on the agreement with the client.
Please provide: recording track in .WAV format (MP3 may also work), tempo, recording specs (bit/kHz)
If possible: number or chord charts, any notes and audio/video references.
I'm always open for discussion and suggestions.

I was so honored that Sasha agreed to work with me on one of my pieces. How can you rate someone who is is a consummate musician, thorough, detailed who was very easy to communicate with, and did everything he said he would and more. Also, the thing is, I really didn't give him much to go on, a piece in which I told him the drums and vocals were just sketches, and basically just have some fun.
I can't recommend Sash highly enough, just not enough stars to rate a star in his own right. 
check_circleVerifiedSent Sasha our demo and a reference track and he promptly sent back a steel guitar part that was exactly what we were looking for! Highly recommend working with him
