Picasso Blue is a solo record I did in 2000, finally realizing a career goal I hadn't yet touched. The tunes came together over 6 months of writing, recording, re-recording etc. I played and or programed all the guitar, bass, keyboard and drum machine. I invited a couple of friends to add some live drums to the mix. Nick Woodson played on Kick Back, while Sean Baltazor added to Caribe and Hyoshi.

I am currently working on material for a second Picasso Blue record...Stay tuned!

Sugar Boogie was an original funk/rock band featuring the very talented vocalist Amy Robbins. Together with Jason Cole on drums and Duncan Lawson on bass, Sugar Boogie became quite popular with the SF crowds. The tunes here represent some of my personal favorite stuff I've done. Amy's concise and meaningful lyrics were the star here. She also did all of the vocal arranging on this project as well- great stuff!

I played Bass with the Junior DeVille Blues Band for roughly 5 years performing 50+ gigs per year including festivals, top Bay Area clubs and even appearing on Friday Night Live TV show that featured up and coming local bands. We got some minor radio play with the tune No More Cryin even being featured on the House of Blues Radio show. This CD is a great representation of the bands songs, but live on stage is where this band kicked butt!
