On The Lam Band

I am a Southern California native who grew up during the great explosion of rock and roll music in the 60's and 70's. My older sibling by 9 years, introduced me to rock and roll at a very young age. 

At age 7, my mother decided that I had the makings of a concert violinist and started me on violin. By age 9, I knew violin was not my instrument and hounded my parents unmercifully until they bought me a cheap classical guitar. I immediately began to teach myself how to play and by age 11 I was playing in my first band. By age 13, my band was playing for gigs and traveling around Southern California. By age 16, I had performed at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. 

I truly enjoy playing with the incredibly talented musicians of "On the Lam Band". They rival the talents of the great musicians I played with in my early rock years. The diversity of the band is quite unique and allows me to play bass guitar as well as 6 and 12 string acoustic and electric guitar. The band has turned me into a background singer and I don't think I will ever be comfortable with singing but you gotta do what you gotta do.
