I have perfored with Harry Cannick Jr, Branford Marsalis, Ellis Marsalis, Bill Conti, Carl Fontana, and others.

I have appeared at the New Orleans Jazz Fest and Texas State Fair. I've also been part of opening acts for The Temptations, Irma Thomas, Delbert McClinton, restless Heart, and America.

For the last 18+ years, I've played in various bands throughout the Gulf Coast, raning from Rock to Jazz to Funk.
