I am a Guitar Player/Song Writer from New Orleans, LA. My life is devoted to music and my wonderful family. After 24 years in the music business, I've done a little bit of everything: touring, recording, producing, teaching and most of all-driving! Over the course of my career, I've been fortunate to share the stage/studio with artists such as: The Temptations, Chuck D(Public Enemy), The Wooten Brothers, Michael English, Damon Johnson(Alice Cooper/Thin Lizzy), The Family Stone, Mavis Staples, Rick Ross, Scarface, The Red Stick Ramblers, Heidi Newfield, Cowboy Mouth, Larry Garner, Howlin Wolf Jr, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Tabby Thomas, Brittany Spears, Tab Benoit, Josh Turner, Keith Sweat, Trey Songz, Bob Seger, Louisiana's LaRoux, Afroman, Rockin' Doopsie Jr. and Chris LeBlanc to name a few!

I have also had the honor of studying with some of the finest musicians on the planet. Regi Wooten(The Wooten Brothers), Chalmers "Spanky" Alford, Alvin Batiste, Stan Campbell and Bill Kimbrell have all been major sources of knowledge and inspiration for me.

 

I am the lead guitarist and primary songwriter for Brittany Pool and the Rugarouxs.

My original project is my band - Jack Fate. We are currently working on a new record. I am also the guitarist/backup vocalist for the band Orphan Annie. Check out our website: www.orphanannieband.com. When home, I teach guitar and bass lessons at my private studio in Baton Rouge, LA. I also do a bit of studio work with Divided Souls Entertainment(Chuck D, Trey Songz, Lil Chuckee, Lil Boosie, etc.). Recently, I have been doing more studio freelancing and writing.
