Profile edited with: CricketSoda Myspace Profile Editor Musician and citizen of the world. Currently based in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. Liberal thinker, intellectual for the most part and proud as hell of it. Play trumpet, electric bass, keyboards, guitar, drums, some harmonica, and sing a mean tune, kid. Love irreverent humour.Current musical projects I am involved in are: Department of Good and Evil featuring Rachel Z: Trumpet Hanz Erik and the Hims: Bassist and throat.

Gabriel James Band: Trumpet, occasional vocals and auxiliary instrumentation (guitars, percussion)International artists I have performed with include Grammy winning singer-songwriter Marc Cohn, guitarist Shane Fontayne (Springsteen, Sting), English pop singer Julia Fordham, and more recently with jazz pianist Rachel Z as a member of the Department of Good and Evil. I have performed at venues including the Blue Note NYC, the Jazz Standard (with special guest Tony Levin!), and the Dakota in Minneapolis with the band.
