I am a Nashville-based bass player that has played on several platinum albums and singles as well as Grammy and Emmy winning songs. You might have heard me on a country song like Girl Crush or Pontoon by Little Big Town or on a singer-songwriter song by Matt Nathanson or Juliana Hatfield. I love my job, and I hope that it is evident in my playing.

I tagged John in to help me out with a cover of an old shoegaze classic and he absolutely crushed it! I'm really proud of the version we've created and can't wait to share it out.

John is as patient as he is talented. I accidentally gave him some bad info on the song we were working on, and he was able to understand the issue and address it quickly. Such a good dude!

I work with John on literally every piece of music I record, so my feedback probably starts to repeat itself, but it's all true. He's such a cool and talented dude, and will always be my go-to.
