My recordings

Have a Listen…

I’ve recorded for many years on a variety of projects. Many with the Jami Jamison Band over the 20 years I’ve been playing with them. In the last few years I’ve wanted to write and record “my songs” so thats been a focus. I did Automartix , my first CD under the band name, Sonoma Soul in 2017. My latest EP finished a few months ago is titled Donar. Showcasing  my three original songs, Donar, Rough, and Cool One

It’s about time I let MY music flow!

Donar

My latest EP Donar, is dedicated to my wife Donna Ridenhour.  I wrote this song for flute years ago and finally recorded it and the  two other songs at a local studio early in 2022. It’s all orginal music and I’m very happy with the result. 

We rehearsed and recorded these songs inside of a month. I was especially pleased that it has a live feel. No overdubs on my parts. It’s what you’d hear at a gig.

It’s  been my pleasure playing for years with this line up in the Jami Jamison band. So when I mentioned that I had an independent project they were all on board and really integral to how well this project turned out,
