Bio
I was born in Los Angeles, CA, February 7, 1948 and raised in the afluent neighborhood of Beverly Hills (pre 90210 - they didn't have zip codes back then). In fact, I remember my phone numbers from childhood and they didn't have area codes!!!! I attended Beverly Hills High School along with some people you all might have heard of - Richard Dreyfuss, Bonnie Franklin and my childhood friend - Academy award winning producer Michael Lloyd. As a matter of fact, Michael and I had our first chart success with the surf group The New Dimensions in 1963. The Best of The New Dimensions was compiled and released in 1996 - many, many, many years after the surf wax hardened on our boards.
I worked on the Sunset Strip during the turbulent 60's with my groups SOUND OF THE SEVENTH SON and THE EAST SIDE KIDS. We held a residency at THE TRIP, STRATFORD ON SUNSET (now The House Of Blues) BRAVE NEW WORLD, BIDO LITOS, CIROS, and of course the Holy Grail of clubs.....THE WHISKEY.
In late 1966 i moved to Denver Colorado with the remains of THE WEST COAST POP ART EXPERIMENTAL BAND and formed the popular SUPERBAND.
As early 1968 dawned, i moved back to LA and ensconced myself firmly in Laurel Canyon. It was there next door to my neighbor Danny Hutton, that the seeds were planted and grew into what became a true American Band.......THREE DOG NIGHT.
I have been blessed to have worked on records and stage with some of the most exciting people in the industry. The list includes: AMERICA, THE BEACH BOYS, BECK BOGERT & APPIECE, NILS LOFGREN, LOWELL GEORGE, DONOVAN, ERIC CLAPTON, BUDDY MILES, STEPHEN STILLS, JEFF BECK, CHRIS HILLMAN, STEVE CROPPER, DUCK DUNN, JAMES BURTON, HAL BLAINE, LEON RUSSELL, THE WRECKING CREW, OSIBISA, SHAUN CASSIDY, RODERICK TAYLOR, EARL SLICK, LISA HARTMAN, and JIMI HENDRIX.
About
40 plus years later, and THREE DOG NIGHT continues to tour and bring JOY TO THE WORLD. |
MY SOLO INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC has given me the chance to express my emotions without words. Each piece is a labor of love. I draw my inspiration from a variety of sources - topping the list is my wife, Susie, who stood by my side when I derailed emotionally. Susie is the most amazing woman I have ever known and I am blessed to be married to her. She shares the same passion for music and has collaborated on many of my pieces. Another important source is my continued sobriety (24+ years and counting), my career with Three Dog Night (the best is yet to be) and my travels around the world .
Every instrument, sound, and color is carefully thought out and recorded by me at my home studio. The landscape is vast, and the palate is filled with exciting variations that challenge you to dream and in the end, become inspired as well.
Thank you for letting me share my music with you. I hope you enjoy the journey that it takes you on.
