Raised in the Wild West of the Great White North, I caught the music bug at a very young age. Between grade-school air guitar competitions and late-night “recording sessions” (i.e. patiently listening to the boombox with finger on the Record button for the opening notes of the week’s Top Ten), it permeated my life and consciousness. It wasn’t until high school, however, when C.C. DeVille, James Hetfield, Nikki Sixx, and, most importantly, the duo of Steve Clark/Phil Collen finally inspired me to give it a try myself.

Slowly self-taught over the next three decades (not recommended), I honed my chops by playing along with CDs and iTunes. Music was my one consistent source of excitement and inspiration, but it certainly came with its share of frustrations. It wasn’t until 2018 that I finally confronted my insecurities, stagefright, and complete inability to play standing up by performing with a short-term Pixies cover band.

All other things equal, I definitely gravitate toward a heavier, metal sound, but I still believe that good songwriting rises above all else. Current and past obsessions include: Van Halen, Alice Cooper, Beach Boys, Rush, Bring Me The Horizon, Richard Marx, Rick Springfield, Tori Amos, Alice in Chains, and the mighty Def Lep. Although not so much an issue these days, this could lead to some interesting exchanges with Sam Goody cashiers while buying both Ozzy and Britney albums.

False Sense of Security is a group of musicians with eclectic tastes that allows all of these influences to play a part. These individual preferences, along with a common love of high-energy rock’n’roll, combine to form a unique, yet classic, sound. It is our goal to share this experience as fully as possible with the audience each and every time out.
