For the past couple of years I've had the priviledge of playing with not just some fantastic musicians, but some even more fantastic people. Each one is a wonderful, individual character, and they all bring life to my music by adding their own unique style and colour to the songs, wether live or in the studio.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you my band:
