"I bring my own style of blues, rock, bluz-rok, soul and R&B to the Chicagoland scene. I love doing covers because the crowds enjoy them, but I always like to add my own twist."
"So much music has influenced me throughout the years.... I can't even begin to name all of them, but some come to mind -- Rod Stewart and his rough blue-eyed soul, Koko Taylor who taught me a woman can be strong, Al Green and his controlled, subdued voice, Isaac Hayes' sultry reverberation, Janis Joplin's vocal acrobatics, Etta James' powerful yet silky sound, Marvin Gaye's sweltering style, the incomparable Bill Withers' percussion and rhythm, the Commodores' cohesive harmonies, Lind Ronstadt's powerful voice, Patsy Cline's smooth alto, Bonnie Raitt's gritty blues, all the blues greats -- Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy (no other scorching guitarist like him), BB KIng, Little Walter, Johnny Lee Hooker, all the soul greats -- Otis Rush, Otis Redding, and all the rock greats -- Heart, Led Zeppelin... so, so many to mention...
it's just impossible...
