320.805.0112(c) Solid drummer/leader looking to form or join a group that will perform as often as possible. Aside from playing numerous clubs/ballrooms all over MN and WI, I've performed at many regional/national festivals including the MN State Fair, WeFest, Winstock, and Moon Dance Jam. Television appearances include local cable in the Twin Cities and recently an appearance on PBS. I've opened for artists such as Don Williams and Brad Paisley and was a featured drumset artist at the University of MN Morris. I also do local session work.
