I'm 25, easy-going, and you'll find i say very little. I love God, people, and music. I started as a solo pianist, but only did that for a few months, playing smaller stages (600 people max) in Tampa. I've toured with a pipe and drum band called The Craic Show. We traveled with the Ren Faire circuit and spent a couple of months in both Co and Pa. All together i suppose i don't have much stage experience, but i have a raw talent that i'm honing every week. Would love to lift people up with music- make them dance- all of it. Just want to laugh and have a good time while we're playing our hearts out.

Musical Influences & Inspiration

I'm inspired by anything Real. Personally I'm coming from a belief in the Bible, but that doesn't mean I'm blind to everything else. I love People as they are. As long as we're communicating good things- sending good vibes- I'm up for playing a whole range of styles. Bands that have shaped my playing and Thinking include: Psalters, Mewithoutyou, Beats Antique, DeVotchka, Sigur Ros.

Gear & Equipment

I play a very nice Toca sythetic Djembe. I have recievers, amps, standing stage speakers, ground speakers, light percussion ("bones" and a quality tambourine), mics, etc. All that said it'd be cool if you were just as comfortable on the streets as you are on stage. The point for me is interaction.
