I play blues, reggae, ska, and indie music, mixing beatboxing and looping. I developed my style on the streets of Phoenix, Arizona, where I began to call my one man band thing "One Harp". Although I no longer call PHX home, that street ethos I developed then is still a big part of my music.

Check out my newer music, which I am uploading to my Soundcloud page.

 I also make videos reviewing harp gear, and several videos on DIY electronics for harmonica (mics, fx, amps, etc.), which I upload to my YouTube channel. If you are interested in that kind of stuff, be sure to check that out too! A lot of my music can be found there as well.

I mainly play self-customized Hohner Marine Band's and Special 20's. My arsenal includes richter harps as well as various special tunings, including "Natural Minor" tuning, "Dorian Minor" tuning, "Easy Third" tuning, and a special tuning of my own invention I call "Modern Pentatonic" tuning. I also play Leo Shi "Sequence Scale" Bass harps, Octave harps, and Tremolo harps. I use a Zoom G3 effects pedal for all my effects, a Vox Lil' Looper for all my looping, and a vintage Electro Voice 626 mic (a high impedance cardioid stick mic with a dynamic element). My main "harp amp" is a modified Epiphone Valve Jr., but I typically just plug the G3 into a clean solid state PA. My "street amp" is a Pyp PB-1 solid state battery powered 20 watt amp.

Other instruments I play include Hillcountry and West African style guitar (both are finger-picked, open drone styles of playing), the electric three-string slide cigar-box guitar (home-made, of course!), the Ukulele (I play Kala Makala Ukes), Synthesizers (Korg Volca series), the didjeridoo (yup!), and the melodica.
