Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor
Originally from Pittsburgh, PA and trained classically, I graduated from The Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University with a degree in Trumpet Performance. I have studied with a laundry list of folks -- some you've heard of, some you haven't, all of whom have contributed to my appetite for crossing musical boundaries between genres and styles. Flashing forward to today, I'm a freelance trumpeter and vocalist. My trumpet is a B & S Elaboration from the Challenger series (yes, you recognize that picture).I play in an orginal funk band that performs around the Southeast, Secret Gossip , which you can find on myspace and be our friend. You can check out my articles for the TN Jazz and Blues Society . Lastly, find me playing with The Establishment , as old and established as the name would imply, it's a 17 piece big band in Nashville. Other than those groups, you'll just have to keep an eye out for me around Nashville.
I get to play for all of life's great moments...weddings, parties, drunken shirtless nights out on the town...but you can google me just like anyone else. Track me down for trumpet, or trumpet lessons, or for singing, either live or in the studio. Check out a sampling of things I have done up top there, and I hope you enjoy!
