Neil is the newest member of the Grapevine, yet has been playing assorted styles of music in various bands since his high school days. The past few years found Neil playing primarily jazz, yet upon joining the Grapevine he notes that “no band that I’ve ever played with can get a crowd going like the Grapevine can and it’s been a blast getting back to my rock and roll roots!”  His day gig is as Director of Instructional Technology for the Monroe County Schools.
