About Me:
I am a fervent advocate of blues music. My musical voyage began with early guitar lessons, setting the stage for a rich educational journey through Houston and Austin’s vibrant music scenes in the 1970s and 1980s. My passion for music led me to Los Angeles, where I formed The Scraps, a band celebrated for its dynamic alternative roots performances. After returning to Houston in the late 1990s, I helped establish the H-Town Jukes, reviving the classic blues sound that resonated throughout the Gulf Coast. Today, as a solo artist, I continue capturing the essence of traditional blues through live performances and recorded works.
