ABOUT

CURRENT BANDLEADER: The Boogaloo Bunch - Middle Georgia's only Latin Fusion band.

Experienced conga and Latin percussionist who's played in bands of artists in Augusta including the Augusta University Jazz Combo, The Augusta Big Band Aggregate, Rob Foster and Pulsar, and the Soul Project. Been lucky enough to share the stage with some of Augusta's most talented artists including, Wycleff and Karen Gordon, Eddy Hamilton, Travis Shaw, Tim Sanders, Joel Cruz, Tom Reed, Caleb Wilkerson, Chris Martinez. I have also experience with contemporary and gospel music as a drummer playing with the church. I consider my playing style to be melodic and adaptable to multiple genres, adding something to any band, you did not expect or realize you needed. Looking to play more locally as a transplant to the area in recent years.
