My Bands:


I recently had the privilege of working on my good friend Robin Jame's new jazz album, HAVEN. We met a couple years ago at a local Indianapolis Pub. There are a LOT of talented people on HAVEN, and Robin used me as percussionist on 6 of the 13 tracks, and drummer on 2. He also let me do the cover design, and blessed me by asking if he could put an original painting on the back cover!

Please support Robin's music and pick up HAVEN. It's excellent. Click on the picture to jump to Robin's website. You can buy the album there, through CD Baby.

The two tracks on which I played both drums and percussion can be heard on the MP3 player on the left - "SRB" and "Vieques." Check them out.
