I have played with many different groups around Philadelphia such as Quick Step John, Shayne Wagman, The Jake cohen Trio/Quintet, and venues such as The Electric Factory, World Cafe Live, The Point, Milkboy Coffee, Chris's Jazz Cafe, Zanzibar Blue, and many others. I've recorded at Morningstar Studios, Widener University, Milkboy Studios, and others.
