Influences: Well, right now they are....
Chaka Khan, Jocelyn Brown, Nancy King, Nina Simone, Erykah Badu, Linda Tillery, Kim Burrell, The Clark Sisters, D'angelo, Ledisi, The Pointer Sisters, Rhonda Benin, Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings, Jill Scott, Carmen McRae, Betty Carter, Kurt Elling, Steve Christofferson, Laurence Hobgood, Ruthie Foster, Eivør Pálsdóttir and Bobby McFerrin to name a few. I'm a sucker for a fat, dirty groove played by a slick drummer with a serving of bass as thick as a texan steak. I love my friends, family, students, my bandmates and fellow music makers, my grandparents, a crisp sunny day, cute babies, people transformed by love, soup, a good g&t and a rousing game of guesstures.
Sounds Like: me.
