Earwave Music
Real music for real people.
Bass player, producer, Earwave Music—north of 500 sessions, a lot of highway miles, and years in AFM leadership starting at Local 257. Records, photos, video, and the union-hall fights are all parked here.
Welcome
Liner notes, not a press release.
Folk, jazz, soul, Americana, and whatever else the chart didn’t have a box for. He still treats the studio like a day job you love—hold the line, don’t step on the singer—and the road like laundry and soundchecks. When he’s home, it’s often Local 257, a benefit, or helping another player figure out the business without getting skinned.
