Influences: My brother Tom, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffet, Jerry Jeff Walker
Taste In Music: Anything with Guitars
Equipment Preference: Something in Tune
Past Experience: Goofing around for friends, goofing around for strangers.
Comments: Live Large and Take Chances. It’s all about me.

The story I told the band was that I played with plenty of big names and toured with some even bigger names. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Influences:  Carmen Menna, Johnny Winter, Jimi, Albert Collins, Monte Montgomery, SRV
Taste in Music: Grew up with the early garage bands of the Chicago burbs. All of our music was heavilly influenced by that era of Blues movement. Always inspired by the guitar virtuosos like Hendrix, Page, Stevie Ray, Monte, Jeff Beck, Satch, Vai etc. and anyone who can take an instrument to another level beyond it's normal boundaries.
Equipment Preferences: Whatever feels right at the moment...Fender, Alvarez, Yamaha, Gretsch Right now Vaccaro fills the bill!
Past experience: The Hurricanes, The Jaguars, Brother Burnsides Flying Circus, Buddy Blue, Off The Cuff, Jack Handy and the Renovators

Comments: who me?

Influences: Carmen Menna: a great Chicago guitar player, got me started when I was nine years old. Also the Beatles, Hendrix, Buddy Guy. Also played with Chicago jazz guitar player Cary Coleman. Studied classical guitar (in between all the other rock stuff).
Taste in Music: Partial to blues and funk but love all types of music.
Equipment Preferrences: Fender Precision Bass through Ampeg amp and a few other Fender and Gibson guitars.
Past Experiences: Played all over Chicago during college. Also toured with Motley Crew, Korn and Twisted Sister-- but quit these bands because wouldn't share the groupies with me.
Comments: There is no way to explain the kick I get from playing in front of a crowd that is loving our music!
