Heading up to Mount Tam
Karl's Musical Biography as seen on the Pulsator's Site:
Karl's father was a Jazz organ and piano player. At seven years old Karl was inspired by him to start playing the keyboards. At 13 years of age, he joined a band in high school named "Sequoia" in Marin County, CA. He played with the band for years before moving to Oregon. There he played keyboards as a hired gun, playing with more bands than he can remember, blues, zydeco, R & B... and so on. Through this experience he gained exceptional versatility.
Five years ago Karl moved back to Marin County where he hooked up with local bands such as Red Eye, Walt the Dog and Eric Lindell. During a show he did with Red Eye he met the Pulsators who were looking for a keyboard player. Karl's main influences are the classic blues and jazz players, like Jimmy Smith, Joey D'Franchesca and of course Art Neville from the Meters fame.
