After playing rock music in bands since 1972, in 1990 I left the city & my youthful ambition to be a rock star behind, choosing a simple rural life in the hills south of Bridgetown. Some years later a friend casually introduced me to the old Country Blues & I thought why haven't I ever heard this stuff before? Whatever those African Americans were doing was what I'd been searching for my whole life.
I am honoured to be carrying on such a venerable tradition & doing my very best to live up to its ridiculously high standards. It has become my life, my love & my passion & I have devoted myself to its irresistible hypnotic grooves. Just for the love of it. And that single minded passion has made a new man of me, a Bridgetown Hill Country Bluesman, rambling the deep south of Western Australia playing my stuff.
