Description
I've been a bassist for over 30 years and an independent producer / recording engineer for 20 - just about every style at one time. I'm currently involved with Praise and Worship at our church and have a home studio setup for writing/production.

Recording and equipment
Mac and Pro Tools primarily, Live and a few other apps for some pre-production things, Line 6 gear for bass and guitar. These samples go back through about 20 years of different styles and technology. Starting w/ 8 trk and sequencing in the late 80's (I actually started on a 4 track cassette 6 or 7 years prior) through recent ProTools TDM systems. Check the song notes (scroll over the title) for details on each.

Upcoming Shows
You'll have to come to visit us at Avalon Church in Fort Wayne! ALSO, check out my other band listings / artists pages: AMANDLA MUSIC featuring BLACK SAND HAND, RIVER OF SOUL and TYD and DANNY LISTON. There are a few other artists that I'm currently hosting on Sweetwater Records as well such as GEO MCKINNEY and hopefully a few other of the cd's I helped to produce that are sampled here. If you would like more info on these or a variety of other projects including Ken Hensley, Pavlovs Dog, various 'A-list' projects, worship music, etc. just email me. I will update this page with new music from time to time so please check back!
