SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm a multi-genre hand percussion pro (congas, bongos, djembe) with over 20 years of gigging experience in over 80 different venues throughout the Delaware Valley. I've played with funk, jazz, indie, singer-songwriter original, folk rock, latin, reggae and fusion bands and groups, adding a percussive texture that fills the pocket with a blended touch. The instruments I value most are the two flappy things on either side of my head. These listening devices lock into what YOU play, how you play it, what you want, how you want it, and how I can best support the groove as a band member, not a front man. I look for and acknowledge who the leader is for all decisions, since there should always be a boss with a clear vision who also possesses a management style that includes the craft of marketing and promotion. (I have produced dozens of promotional pieces for many bands and will offer my services should their be a mutual commitment.)
