ABOUT

I’ve been playing guitar for over 45 years, with a sound forged through decades of passion, grit, and raw emotion. My playing draws from the atmospheric storytelling of players like David Gilmour and Daniel Lanois, but it’s equally grounded in the tough, unpolished edge of Aussie pub rock. Bands like The Angels, Baby Animals, Screaming Jets, Cold Chisel, and Midnight Oil all helped shape my roots — where riffs are honest, vocals are howled not whispered, and guitars speak loud and clear.

Whether it’s soaring melodic phrasing, bluesy bends, or power-driven rhythms, I blend cinematic ambience with the pub rock punch that filled our bars and airwaves in the ’80s and ’90s. It’s about feel, fire, and authenticity — never just playing notes, but telling stories with sound.
