Playing With My Friends

If you take a look at my GIGS page you will see that along with playing in my original project I play with a variety of groups playing a wide array of music.  This page is dedicated to those groups and will give you a chance to hear or see what I am up to with these other groups.
After The Goldrush - Tribute To Neil Young
Growing up I was introduced to Neil from his albums Freedom and Ragged Glory, and from there I worked my way back through his catalog.  Always enjoyed his playing but also admired the way he would go from the hard rock sound of Crazy Horse to his solo acoustic playing.  No musical style left unturned.  Playing the part of Neil is Andrew Sansone who does an excellent job on his portrayal of the musical icon.

This is a band I started in 2014 with my good friend Gary Sharma.  Gary is a bass player I have known during my days in the jam circuit in Barrie, ON.  With this group you will find us playing a wide variety of Classic Rock from the 60's all the way to this century.  Check out our website for more info and some video clips.
Ingersoul
"Americana" is the blending of Folk, Country, Bluegrass & Rock which are covered by this group.  Steve Woeller & Steve Andrews are the principle songwriters and Trace MacKay & myself round out the core of this group.  When possible we bring along a few others for the ride.  Check out some youtube clips of the band.

This is a songwriting project with lyricist Carlo Rubino.  In 2011 we released our first album Moonrain.  Along with myself playing all the "strings" it featured Gord Emms on drums and Mike Kendal on keyboards.  We are currently in production for our second album but do not have a release date yet.  Here are some live clips of the band.
Celtic Colours
As the name of this group suggests, this band represents musically my Celtic roots.  The group will also cover, folk and Maritime music that I grew up on in Cape Breton.

​Here's a clip of the band performing at Kempenfest 2016 in Barrie, ON.
