And updates, who knew?

December 18th, 2009

Well, I’m really looking forward for some time back home and to get to play with such wonderful musicians! Before I’m back in Michigan, on December 26th I’ll be hosting the late night jam at Cleopatra’s Needle in NYC, should be a great night. I’m also excited to announce a performance at Iridium in Times Square, Manhattan, NYC on March 13th. I will be co-leading a group with bassist Marcos Varela as part of the “New Faces of Midnight” series. Keep watching for more details to emerge.

I’m excited to announce a few upcoming performances. On December 7th, I will be performing with a good friend of mine, and fellow saxophonist, Peter Sparacino, in Brooklyn. Additionally, I have booked a trip back home to Michigan and will have performances while I am there at The Canterbury House (Ann Arbor), Baker’s Keyboard Lounge (Detroit), Cliff Bell’s (Detroit) and theĀ  Cadieux Cafe (Detroit). There may be others to follow, so stay tuned! Additional details, as always, can be found on my calendar. You can continue to hear me every Sunday with the Logan Thomas Quintet at Dervish, a great restaurant in Times Square, Manhattan.

New tracks and Dervish

September 14th, 2009

And here we are in September. I had the pleasure of performing with some old friends of mine while I was back in Ann Arbor at a great intimate venue, the Canterbury House. You can hear some of the results (my songs: Sunday Market and Travel Safely) of that performance on my listen page.

Don’t forget! You can catch me every Sunday at Dervish in Times Square with Logan Thomas, Sarah Charles, and Josh Davis. Unless, of course, my calendar indicates otherwise.

Alternatives and Return To Gotham (New York Lullaby) are both original tunes written in the past couple of months. Please head on over and take a listen.

Site Updates

May 25th, 2009

Hello there,
I have recently taken some time and made some major overhauls to the system behind my website. I am proud to say that I am now running on WordPress and this will make it a lot easier for me to update from now on! If you are new here I would love it if you would sign up for my mailing list. I think the best update is to my calendar, it is now easier to read and easier to update as well as providing more information. I also have a nice clean contact e-mail page. Thank you for taking the time to look around.
