Bass player for Delta Rae and several Nashville based singer-songwriters. I love playing music with new people. My playing instinct is to serve and support the song as best I can. I like a deep pocket and to sprinkle in some flavor when it is appropriate. I play Electric, Upright, Acoustic, and moog bass.

Mandolin goes with everything! If you want to add a unique character to your work, maybe a bit of that Americana flavor for your song, or stylized Italian tremolo, maybe a grooving rhythm part or a blazing picked solo, send me the track, and I'll make it happen! I also play lots of other instruments: Bass, Guitar, Tuba, Harmonica, etc..
