I have been playing music semi-professionally
on and off since High School. During this time I
have played music in Indiana, California, Illinois
and Missouri. From 1986-1990 I played with
Indiana Blues legend Governor Davis.

After a lot thought and reflection I decided the time had come to put the music thing on
the back burner for awhile. At times I was playing in 3 bands at the same time and I
really wanted to continue my education. So slowly I began removing myself from these

Citizens Arrest may resurface in the future if time allows for it. The odds are good if this
happens for a return to the roots of the band, playing smooth, funky, bluesy and soulful
music rather than the straight ahead dance rock the band was recently doing.

areas in the 10 years I have lived here. I thought I would give a comprehensive list a
