what’s up curious? yeah, i know - the site seems a little light hearted but don’t let the cartoons fool you. I’m a real player offering to share some real knowledge with you about how to make it as a performer.

No unproven theories...

I quit my day job at Denver bank 16 years ago at age 25. soon after that i realized no one could show me how to get my career moving as a musician. plenty of folks were available to teach me chords, scales and arpeggios - but No one could really teach me how to get endorsements, promote myself, break in to the gigging, touring or recording scenes, or even how to get started as a professional player. i realized I’d have to figure all of that stuff out on my own...so i did.

my success as a sideman has been 99% preparation and 1% luck. i firmly believe that anyone can prepare to succeed in music just like anyone can prepare and succeed at being a doctor, lawyer, manager, plumber, computer programmer etc. My book can show you how to get organized, prepare and work towards that success.

No hype...

It’s got all of the things that I did (and still do) to keep my schedule packed with recording dates, live gigs, clinics and everything else that you’ll have to do to stay on top of your game. i keep it simple, straight-forward and REAL. I explain everything so you can start applying the information immediately...
