Most artist BIOS are full of embellished and exaggerated
comments about how awesome the artist or band is,
but I would just like to share my heart with you.
No matter what you read throughout my site, I will be ultimately judged on what really matters...my performances, my reliability, my professionalism, and most of all, my ability to keep it real.
I have been playing and singing in bands since the age of 14 and I'm still going strong after 35 years and I truly believe that longevity in this business is a far better resume' than a lot of glossy words made to sound like they have been written by someone else.
I am very passionate about what I do and when you choose to use me for your Venue, Function or Special Occasion you will know you have made a great decision!
Below is a fairly brief but true account of my career to date . . . . . .
'Honest to Goodness' Brief Bio........ Written by me!
I am a Guitarist / Vocalist who was born in Melbourne 49 years ago now living on the Gold CoastI. have played in and around Melbourne for the past 35 years in bands that range from Top 40 to Blues to Original to Dance.
I got my first guitar on my 9th birthday and at the age of 14 I formed my first band with my life long buddy John Ebbels.
I have been a member various bands that have supported many great Australian acts through the years including: Skyhooks, ACDC, Screaming Jets, Doug Parkinson, Renee Geyer, Denise Drysdale and many more. I was also very honoured to be invited as one of 4 backing vocalists for Max Pellicano “Elvis to the Max” during his concerts at the Crown Casino Showroom in Melbourne.
Throughout my career, I done various recording session jobs and played in a number of successful Melbourne cover bands including: Regular Boys, Demix, Framework and for ten years was Lead Vocalist / Lead guitarist with top Melbourne blues/rock outfit L.A. Express. For the last three years I have been the Lead Guitarist-Vocalist for the Gold Coasts fabulous show band, The Good Rockin' Daddy's.
Having the uncanny ability to sound remarkably like Neil Diamond , I performed the part of the great man in the Australian Joe Cocker Tribute Show “With a little help from my friends” for 2 years.
I am very highly regarded within the Melbourne and Gold Coast music industry and by my peers, as a talented musician with a professional outlook toward my career, and the ability to adapt myself to any situation and produce the goods.
