Drumming Bio:

Drumming Vocal Performance
With 35+ years of experience; professional musical background. Most recently a 9-year stint in an all-request band, house band of sorts, at Murphy’s Irish Pub in Alexandria VA. Band name: Both Sides. Prior to that, Richmond VA bands: Baby Huey and the Babysitters (ECE), the John Fetherston Band, New American Standard, Psychobilly Cadillac. Going further back, Florida touring bands: Jesse James, Mommy Dearest, and Mad Max (Mad Max included one performance backing up Bret Michaels of Poison).

While attending VCU in the mid 90’s, I began as drummer for regional EastCoast Entertainment show band “Baby Huey and the Babysitters“. I worked with Baby Huey for a total of 7 years playing weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate functions and beer-fests, and more weddings. “The best aspect was the opportunity to share the stage with some of the best musicians in Richmond.
