cont.:
I joined the Silverbacks in March 2003, after we played together at a River City Blues Society Open Jam. Childhood music training was in graded church choirs and school band. I have played instruments and sung in church all my life. I started playing tenor saxophone in 5th grade. I began playing guitar in college. Over the years I have played in bands in styles including blues, country, jazz, folk rock, southern gospel, and contemporary Christian. I have played music in several African countries. I currently play sax in the worship band at Cambridge Baptist Church (Henrico West End) and a worship band at work. On occasion I play bass guitar for an informal bluegrass/gospel group.
