New Addition to the Quiver
All set up and ready to make noise! My new Fender American Professional II Precision V now has an Alperious pickguard and custom fret markers with an ocean wave theme. It’s been PLEK’d and set up by the amazing team at 13th Street Guitars. It’s ready for gigs and recording sessions. Now, the most important thing…it’s name is ‘Ehukai (Hawaiian word for sea spray) — thanks to @dgomes818419 on Instagram for helping me name it.

My Vocal Coach
Since during the quarantine, I’ve had the opportunity to start working with a talented and inspiring vocal coach (something I’ve wanted to do for a while). Much thanks to Julian (@vocal_power77 on Instagram) for helping me establish new found confidence in singing lead and helping me to extend my vocal range and agility.
Just for fun, here’s a short clip of me having a blast singing and playing “Don’t You Want Me” to a great crowd at the New Wave Bar with my band mates in Radio Waves, because nothing says “80s New Wave” quite like a pirate shirt and faux leather pants.

My Bass Rig
I’ve been using my current amplification rig for about 5 years now, and I have to say it’s really been the best sounding and most trustworthy setup I’ve ever had. I’m using a Kemper Profiler, Source Audio and Panda effects, and Shure QLXD & PSM900 wireless systems. It’s all loaded into a Gator shallow 6u case, and I use my Sensaphonics IEMs or my Schroeder custom 2×12 cabinet for monitoring.
