Influences

Everything. Got my musical start into jam bands, then became a Santana fan. I appreciate his soul screaming tone and spiritual intention. I generally like music that is positive, grooving, beautiful, deep. That said, I love a lot of more heavy stuff. My spotify mixes go from Judas Priest to Phish to NWA to Rage Against The Machine to Rush to Queen to PSY to Porcupine Tree to Snoop Dog...

I'm currently envisioning a hip-hop jam band
