Work Experience:
Dead Air Radio writes, records, and performs regularly, and has become a staple
in the Nashville rock scene. Known for it’s soaring melodies, complex guitar
performances, and crushing riffs, DAR has also been a mainstay on 1029 The Local Buzz.
Nominated for a 1029 The Local Buzz "Buzzy award" 2 years in a row, for "best guitarist" alongside Dennis Thompson, for our work on DAR's 2007 release "Signal to Noise Ratio", and featured in Guitar Player Magazine's October 2007 article "Myspace Hordes". Editor Michael Molenda referred to our playing on the track "Liberation" as "crafty, powerful, and inventive... From the intro's noise spurts, through at least 5,786 changes of mood, their facility with diverse rhythms, tones, melodies, and riffs is truly awe inspiring."
Education:
A guitarist for 30 years now, I'm well versed in rock, metal, acoustic, progressive, pop, and some blues. So if you just wanna strum a tune and entertain folks, or if you're an intermediate rock/metal guitarist looking to boost your chops into the "shred zone"- look no further!
