  • About Me

    Bio:

    I'm an Akron, OH native born into a musical family. I'm the youngest of three kids and was fully immersed in music at a young age. My brother is an exceptional guitar player and influenced a lot of my playing. My sister was always active in school choir and encouraged me to join. She is now the Choir Director for Mentor City Schools.

     

    Song-Writing:

    Instruments were always a tool to write songs for me. I have a rather unorthodox style on the guitar. My attack is very percussive and I primarily play claw-hammer/fingerstyle. From a fundamental perspective, my style is heavily influenced by the delta blues and pentatonic scales. I play numerous genres including Folk/Blues/Country/Rock/R&B.

     

     

    In 2021 Landon Kearns and I founded the band "Rye Valley". This group showcases my original song writing and Kearns' multi-instrumentalism. We released our first full length studio album in 2024.

     

    Sidekicking/Lead-Guitar:

    Throughout the years I have sidekicked numerous artists on lead guitar primarily for fill-ins and subs.

    My philosophy with lead-guitar is simple.... less is more.. Working heavily with Landon Kearns over the past few years strengthened my awareness and elevated my lead guitar playing.

     

    In Fall of 2023, I became the lead guitar performing artist for Chrissy Strong. Strong's song-writing is rooted in angst piano ballads, impecable vocals, and honest story telling.

     

    In Fall of 2024, I am supporting Clem Snide on a National USA Tour. Rye Valley will be going on the road as the opening act. Additionally, we will be playing as active bandmates while supporting frontman, Eef Barzelay, on a small number of songs.

     

    I am not related to Dan.
