I
have been playing drums professionally for over 30 years and am currently
touring with several succesful shows including Liza Ohlback
Band,
'Pearl - The Janis Joplin Show' and The Stevie Wright Show. A highlight of my career was playing with Julian Lennon on The Midday Show. I haven't studied music at a tertiary level but I have studied musicians and, as a young teenager with a thirst for recording and equipped with a "good ear", I learned how they constructed songs and the musical parts. I assembled basic recording facilities, from casstte tape machines to 4 Track Reel-to-Reels and soon was sought after to record demo's for my friends and their bands.
In the mid 80's I ran a recording studio on Sydney's North Shore,
recording many local bands including pre-production for the band
'Moving Pictures'. In 2009
Liza and I recorded our first album called "Trouble Goin' Down" and it
received 3 Chain Awards, which are conducted through the Australian
Blues association. Liza won 2 for her vocal performance and we also won
Producers of the Year for the album. Liza and I have just released our
new album "Give You Hell" and it is sitting at No. 3 on the Australian
AMRAP charts. |
