Rochester

Started drumming at the age of four on cardboard boxes and a diaper hamper for a snare drum, at six I bought my first drums et. My older brothers Jim and Dave, both great at their instruments jim, Bass and Dave Guitar. We created a band called "the Blues Bus" and managed by my father. We immediately started performing out. Within a few years we were doing warm up spots for other up and coming National acts. I got to meet a lot of musicians from bands like Grand Funk railroad, Vanilla Fudge, and Wilmer Alexander & "the Dukes" just to name a few. I met and learn from those drummers. I played in bands like "Isaiah", "NY Rose", and "the Bridge" out of Chicago. Now I'm back in Rochester recording with my brother Dave and long time friends; Dave-Guitar & voacals, Chip Milligan-Vocals and Keys, Pete Merlo-Keys, Jim Carrol- acoustic guitar. Our influences are bands like Saga, Dream Theater, Ra , Deep Purple and Styx just to name a few.
