I am a drummer/percussionist. I am based in Chicago though, for 10 years or so, I have been touring much of Earth as drummer for Brian Wilson.
In the 1980’s and 90’s, I was part of the vibrant, creative and very busy Chicago recording community, playing on several sessions every week, making records and commercials. Chicago was producing much of the commercial advertising music in the U.S. then and I had the good fortune to be right in the middle of all that creative adventure at a young age. I had the rare opportunity to play with, and learn from, some of the best musicians, producers and writers in the world on a daily basis, creating music in just about every conceivable style and genre.
In addition to playing with Brian Wilson, I’ve had the pleasure recording and/or touring with violinist Jerry Goodman, blues/folk legends David Bromberg and Richie Havens, and the Godfather of Spoken Word, Ken Nordine.
I have performed with Elton John, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Neil Young, Pete Townsend, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Jimmy Webb, Vince Gill, Michael McDonald, Billy Preston, John Legend, Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow, David Crosby, Bonnie Raitt, Eddie Vedder and others.
Among the many highlights for me was winning a Grammy Award in 1995, for the Brian Wilson Album, “Smile”.
