welcome!

I've been playing and making music all my life, on piano, organ, synths, guitar and bass. Mostly I'm known as a jazz and blues keyboard player. Over the past 20 years or so I've played lots of gigs with a lot of bands around Central Texas and released CDs of original music. Songs from my CD releases are available for download from online services such as iTunes, eMusic, Napster and Rhapsody. My latest original music project is titled "Respectable".

NEW! Leannasaurus Rex "Hot Summer Jams" 2010 live CD available now! Features the best long jams from summer 2010 shows. "Leannasaurus Rex live (2009) " CD now available for $10. Contact me to order.

Visit my youtube channel for videos with me playing with many different bands.

NEWS

2012 is off to a slow start, with no shows at all in January. 2011 was my busiest music year ever. 80 gigs for the year, including some great December shows in Houston with Mike Reed and the Revelators. 12 gigs in October, beating the April record of 10. On track to play over 80 shows, with 10 different groups (Leannasaurus Rex, Midnight Express, Luigis, Kathy Ross, Johnny and Lise, Big Apple Trio, Karl Rehn group, Crackerjacks/Sam Mursky, Joey McGee, Java Jazz)

I set a personal record in August 2010, playing shows with 8 different bands in Bryan/College Station and Austin. October is looking like another busy month, playing with 6 different bands. April 2011 was another landmark month with 10 gigs. Typically the only month I am that busy gigging is December.
