Bio

I have been playing piano since age 7 and guitar since age 14. Grew up with classic rock and lite fusion influences at the passing of the Woodstock era, later learning some jazz theory and studying undergrad piano at the University. Gospel rock has become a fun genre, while lite jazz and jazz rock sounds are still a lot of fun. Major influences include Chicago, Doobie Bros, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Mr. Jimi, Edgar Winter, Skynyrd, Yes, Dave Grusin, Brad Paisley, Mark Schulz, Petra, and Lincoln Brewster. Favorite instructional personalities include Paul Gilbert, Jack Pearson, Joe Bonnamassa, and Chuck D'Aloia. Thank You so very much for your time and your ears! Hope you hear something that moves you! - Gary
