March is off to a great start with four performances of the John Burroughs High School Pop Show in the books. In a week and a half I’ll be heading to Orlando with Powerhouse and Sound Sensations, the school's top two choirs. I also had the pleasure of playing guitar for an unstaged reading of Mutt House.
On December 1st of last year, I put out my first release under my own name, an instrumental guitar composition called “Kaleidoscope.” My buddy John Schroeder helped me record it at Blue Dream Studios. We decided to challenge ourselves and make every single sound on the track using one acoustic guitar, my trusty Taylor 614ce. Couldn’t be more proud of the finished product, including Kai Kurosawa’s wonderfully shot and edited video.
Looking forward to a busy birthday month of September. I’m playing guitar for the West Coast premiere of Max Vernon’s The View UpStairs at Celebration Theatre (opening September 22nd, with previews starting this Friday, September 15th), and bass for Young and In Love: The Music of Lana Del Rey at Three Clubs on September 17th and 24th
Dogfight, presented by After Hours Theatre Company, came to a close on June 25th. Every single performance was sold out, we got rave reviews, and it was an overall incredible experience. In the mean time, I’ve started playing guitar and mandolin for Odyssey Theatre Ensemble’s production of Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well And Living In Paris.
