Rock & roll is an infectious spirit that swallowed me whole. I’m a musician and producer who believes that (as Rick Rubin put it) “through expression we meet ourselves.” What started with middle school horn blossomed into over 20 years of guitar and bass, and recently, exploring the creative universe that is Ableton. I’ve opened for artists like The Wallflowers, The Gaslight Anthem, Jojo, Geese, Son Little, Andy Frasco & The U.N., Tauk, Dopapod, Perpetual Groove, DJ Williams, and more. Let’s create!

Check out my projects

  • Paper Aliens

    The project that started it all for me, growing organically from open mic nights to The NorVa and regional tours. This project blends psych soul with funk, rock, and kick ass vocals.

  • Kubotans

    A high-energy rock outfit and Virginia Beach supergroup fronted by Bennett Walker Wales, this project conjures a hook-heavy blend of psych, soul, and Americana.

    Beginning as a Lotus tribute, we’ve grown into an original psychedelic funk & live electronic project. Stay tuned for recordings coming 2026.

  • The Getdown

    The Getdown is my cover band. We’re a tight group of friends who like to bring the party, whether it’s a wedding or Harbor Fest. Think Gorillaz meets Chic.

  • Allen Hudson & The Halfmoons

    When my good friend Allen Hudson asked me to lend guitars to his budding Halfmoons project, I couldn’t resist. I’ve recorded on these tunes and played gigs with this killer group!
