Known for versatility across styles, he has performed with artists such as Sleepy LaBeef, Joan Osborne, and Duke Levine. His roots trace to teenage blues inspired by Paul Butterfield, school days spent alongside local standout Babe Pino, and weekly jams at the Lincoln Neighborhood Center. He helped connect Pino with a gig at Poli’s, later the Ale 'n Bun, where Pino led a group with pianist David Maxwell and guitarist Bob Margolin. Early milestones also included sitting in with saxophonist Howie Jefferson, drummer Reggie Walley, and organist Al Arsenault at the Kitty Kat.
