I read your comment regarding my Rogue performance last March but I've have been too much of a procrastinator to get back to you. After going to last week's Didjeridoo festival in North Fork, I remembered you might be interested in a collaboration?…

This is a song called Revolution. Awesome stage and vibe to the place. I think this was the last night of music there.

Profile Information

About:
I have lived in Fresno my whole life, save for one practically homeless year I spent in Santa Cruz when I was 19/20. Bass was my first instrument which I have been playing for over 17 years, I am self taught. When I was 18 I saw a band from Australia called Yathu Yindi who started their set with two Aboriginal men in body paint playing didgeridoo and clacking sticks... I was amazed! While living in Santa Cruz I met a kid on the street playing didg who gave me my first and only lesson. Since those early days I have played in numerous bands including Pearson's Reality, Trojan Country Club, Waddama and Richfield. Currently I am playing bass (and a little didg) with DB and The Struggle, a local funk/reggae band. I will also start giving beginner bass lessons in about a month. And I am always available for didgeridoo lessons. So feel free to contact me if you are interested.

Mostly, my life right now revolves around my beautiful wife Rhiannon and my son Lowan, who will be turning 1 in March. I am a stay at home father and I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do so. Fatherhood is amazing!!!
