After decades of playing guitar and bass I took the leap and purchased a Chapman Stick ® in 2001. Little did I realize how this unique instrument would transform my musical world. Since then I’ve attended several Stick seminars, which provided me the opportunity to study with some of the true masters of this challenging instrument.
The Chapman Stick is an amazingly versatile instrument, and is being utilized by musicians around the world in a wide variety of musical styles and techniques. I enjoy composing, arranging, and playing in a variety of genre, most often jazz and pop standards, easy listening songs, and new age tapestries.
I strive to bring professionalism and experience to every engagement. The distinct sound of the Stick makes it perfect for elegant cocktail events, exquisite weddings and receptions, or any intimate gathering where tasteful music is appreciated. My Chapman Stick performances bring a full-sounding act which will compliment any social function without the cost, sound volume, and physical space required for a full ensemble.... The perfect addition to your already spectacular plans!
