Serve the song
A good part does not announce itself. It gives the vocal somewhere to land, creates movement, and leaves room for everything else.
Selected work
Feel, tone, and restraint.
An audio sample is available below for feel, tone, and arrangement. Instrument-specific examples are still available by request for artists, producers, and music directors.

Questions
Before you send the song.
Do you record pedal steel remotely?
Yes. Send the track and a few references. I can keep it traditional, ambient, spare, melodic, or tucked deep in the arrangement.
What should I send?
A song file, BPM, key, deadline, notes, references, and anything you already know you do not want. That last part saves time.
Can you play live dates?
For the right fit, yes. I take select shows, rehearsals, showcases, and touring work on guitar, pedal steel, and bass.
Can I hear instrument-specific examples?
Yes. Tell me what you're working on and I'll send short clips that fit: pedal steel, electric, rhythm beds, or textures.
Start a project
Tell me what the song needs.
Send the song file, references, deadline, budget range, and what you are hearing in your head. I’ll write back with availability and next steps.
