I have a traditional/original blues band called the Valiants, grooving the blues the way it was meant to be grooved. The Valiants includes Gary Mackender, Nick Augustine, and various special guests.

I also occasionally play guitar with Gary Mackender's band the Carnivaleros. Hot players wailing on Tex-Mex, zydeco, polkas, tangos, swing, you-name-it. Way fun band!

My music was used extensively in Beverly Seckinger's 2004 documentary video "Laramie Inside Out," about the aftermath of Matthew Shephard's murder. It's being screened at various indie film festivals around the U.S., see the website for more details.
