Hello!
I play a lot of harmonica and perform on a professional level regularly.
My strength is playing on all kinds of folk songs, Irish, Celtic, and other traditional tunes, and I play a lot of blues and some jazz-blues.
I also love to teach and coach beginners and am myself always the student.
I play with Gallowglass Irish Band, Delta Promenade, The Tango Cowboys, Robert Sarazin Blake, Petunia (& The Vipers), Hambone Wilson, and many others.
I also sing and play octave mandolin, and some mandolin and piano/keyboards.
I am a kind and patient teacher and easy to work with in any and all professional contexts. I generally charge $50/hr for teaching and $75-$300 for gigs, depending on all the things, and $100 per song recorded. Slided scale may be discussed for sure.
Once I hear your material, I will be able to tell you if I am ready, willing, and wholly able to do a gig or record for you with or without rehearsal. Certain kinds of songs and shows I'm good on the fly.
I bring true musicianship and good ears to the table.
Rehearsal is also possible depending on the gig/pay, etc.
A great old cowboy song, Don't Fence Me In. Click on photo to link, harp starts just after 1:25
