2009 has brought about some major changes in the way I approach my music… I’ve been singing which has turned out to be really fun and I think the shows have benefited in terms of the overall presentation… I enjoy playing in a jazz format but have longed to get away from the “parade of solos” that defines so many jazz performances these days… The group consists of me on guitar and vocals and Ponder East on Sax… from here we’ve been using Aaron Allen on bass most of the time (he’s a great player and so there have been times where he wasn’t available) and we’ve filled his spot with Johnny Vogelsang and Daniel Durham when Aaron couldn’t make it. IF you are in the area, we are playing at the Central Market (Westgate) the day after Christmas and it should be a fun show. I’m adding new tunes all the time and I’ve tried to pull from as many sources as possible.. Fats Waller, T-Bone Walker, Ray Charles, and so on… We go on at 6:30p and play until 9p. Hope to see you guys there.
