I have been keeping myself a secret for a long time. I'm slowly emerging by collaborating with local musicians and artists.
I really enjoy playing music with people. I can groove with that human feel. I can listen and create, compliment your rhythms.
At the moment I am involved in a couple projects. I am in an all original band called INFUSIONS with HUNTRESS DIANA and JOHN FOX. I am the Drummer for The killer band ATOMIC LOVE EXPLOSION with Jimmy Valentine and Huntress Diana. I am the current Drummer for GENRAL PATTON AND HIS PRIVATES and still appearing as a soloist in the jam band ELECTRIC MEDICINE.
All three bands were scheduled at the CHICAGO PEACE FEST and MICHIGAN PEACE FEST. We were excited to be a part of these two great Festivals. Maestro took on the responsibility of booking the Chicago Peace Fest and running the Stage. Maestro was Stage Assistant with Covert Operations at Michigan Peace Fest.
I am busy working on video projects through Maestro Productions and a few exciting things around the Complex. I am recording with the bands I am in and doing very detailed tracking with dozens of layers on my solo stuff. It is still a bit of a secret but I'll send you some if you ask.
Take a look at The INFUSIONS page to get a glimpse of some recent recordings with my fab Guitarist/Vocalist/Drummer JOHN FOXX and the beautiful and very powerful Bassist/Vocalist HUNTRESS DIANA.
Things are really shaping up here in Chicago. All of us here are very excited about the coming days.
