Here are links to the sites of some of the musicians that I have worked with in the past.  This list will continue to grow as approval to list has been granted by my fellow artists.

 

 

Steve Abshire

Guitar

www.steveabshire.com

Steve is my all time favorite jazz guitarist in the DC area!  I had the fortune to study with him a bit and learned so many things from him in a short time.  He was the guitarist for the the Commodores, the Navy jazz band for many years and is a first rate person and teacher.  See (hear) him when you can.  You won't be sorry!

Ed Gallagher
Guitar
Ed is a great guitarist whose quartet I played with on Wednesdays and Sundays at Martini's in Centreville, VA for many months.  Great inventive player and a super guy to work with!
 
Sonny Bell
Drums and Vocals
Sonny is a great developing blues singer/front man and experienced drummer.  I have worked with Sonny for a long time.  He is one of my best friends as well.  Watch out for his new blues group, Thee Blues Project.  Got a good lineup and will be out playing soon.  More to come...
 

 Bob Hubbard

Bass and Guitar. 

www.myspace.com/bobhubbard

Here is Bob's own description of his music.  "Metal and mayhem is my forte, but I can slow down for bass on smooth jazz or blues when the need arises."  Bob is a great guy and easy to work with.  Especially good blues guy! 

 
 
Vince Calcaterra
Violin, Mandolin and Bass
If you are looking for a great jazz violinist, look no further.  Vince plays all his instruments with sensitivity and style.  He is a really solid bassist that can make even the least of us sound good.  I know from personal experience! :) 
 
Brad Lepp
Bass Guitar
Brad is a rock solid bass player and vocalist who plays with a real hot dance band in town.  His description of the group is "A mix of classic rock, new rock and new country all rolled into one band!"  That says it all.  Check them out!

Buddy is a great jazz,funk and r&b bass player that I have played with in a couple of wedding bands.  He is tasteful, a quick study and plays exactly what the gig calls for.  A true professional and a real gentleman!
