I've been performing as a multi-instrumentalist in bands since the '90s in both full-time and sideman roles. I've played a lot of different places, from shows in coffee houses (Asheville, NC's now legendary defunct Vincent's Ear), to venues of all sizes (Brooklyn's Knitting Factory, Cameo Gallery, & Baby's Alright, Philly's Johnny Brenda's, Khyber Pass, Kung Fu Necktie, Boot & Saddle, Underground Arts, & Union Transfer), & music festivals (I Got Brains Fest 2012 in Blacksburg, VA, Fest 11 in Gainesville, FL, GraveFest 2012 in Savannah, GA, SXSW 2013 in Austin, TX, & the 2015 Northern Liberties 2nd Street Festival in Philadelphia, PA).
