I am a middle school band director that enjoys performing.  I received my bachelors from UT Pan American in Edinburg and masters degree from A & I University in Kingsville, Tx.  I have performed with The Dean Canty Orchestra, Tom Kesselring, Southern Country, Valley Express, Rene Sandoval, Grace Valdez, Joe Chapa, and Bongo Bob.  I have also performed with such pros as Mike Vax, Nelson Ned, and Myrone Florene.  I once had the priviledge of  performing at a party where Jose Jose was the special guest!

 

At my gigs,  I use a variety of sounds such as jazz guitar, rock guitar, flute, organ, piano, Stevie Wonder harmonica, trumpet, trombone and various other midi selections using a Yamaha WX5 wind midi controller and several sound modules.  I use only the best in sound reinforcement.  The Bose L1 Cylindrical Radiator Loudspeaker and B1 Double Bass Package is what I use on most gigs.  I also use soprano, alto, and/or tenor saxes on my gigs.  I have recently added my vocals to my repetoire of sounds!  Check out my demos listed under  "demo songs."

 

Presently, I am employed at McAllen's Embassy Suites performing with Rene Sandoval and The South Texas Jazz Quartet which on April 7, 2007 opened up for Isaac Hayes in concert. I am also employed by Heritage Village Retirement, and Sharyland's Cimarron Country Club. I have recently performed at McAllen Country Club, Cornerstone Bar & Grill, Espana Mediterranean Cuisine, Yoko's Sushi Bar, Kato's Shushi, Brookstone Retirement, Sweet Temptations, McAllen Museum Gala 2005, Risotto's Fine Dining Restaurant, and numerous private dinners and events. 

 

I have enjoyed performing gospel and christian music for the past 17 years playing  5 string electric bass as well as gospel sax & flute.
