About Me

I'm an upright & electric bassist attending Berklee . Dig all kinds of music & people, love seeing live music, especially jazz, funk, or jazz-ish stuff. This is going to be where I'll showcase my current & past projects, as well as link to them.

Since the spring of 2005 I've been playing with the Matt Germak Band ; we've been gigging hard here in Boston and in NYC, and recently began playing shows more regionally, so check us out!

Other projects currently:

    Chet , a bluegrass-rock group comprised of myself on bass & my friends Matt Sorensen (drums), Joe Koubek (guitar, vocals), & Will Mitchell (guitar, keys, vocals). Chet's music is featured in the recordings above. Boston Common , an R&B/funk cover band that's really taken off. We generally play once a week or so in Boston, check the site for locations. I've been the bassist for Matt Germak Band since spring of 2004. Check us out on MySpace too I played upright & electric bass for Jenny Martin's latest album, which was cut at Mix One in Spring '06; great stuff.
