Fun! Colourful! Impactful! I've been performing at retirement homes and related venues since 2025 and I love it! Check the link from the main menu for more info on how you can bring me to your home or residence!
I love writing and performing original songs! I particularly love performing acoustically where the craft of relating to an audience can be best appreciated. For more information on booking me for your house concert or performing showcase, check the menu link under Solo Performance.
Horns for Hire!
I've performed as low-brass sideman for several recording and performing projects over the past decade.
I've teamed with Kim Regimbal (saxophones) and Connor Wilde (trumpet) to form the Big Bad Brass! We play as a unit for a few different bands, including the Ian Andrews Big Bad Blues Band!
We can help shape and arrange horn parts for your next performance or recording project, or just provide a kick-ass horn section! Funk, Blues, Jazz, Ska, Punk, Rock, Klezmer- if your song needs horns, we can help figure it out! More to come in the main menu link!

I'll be completing a bookkeeping / payroll diploma in 2027 and will be able to provide business-related services for musicians such as bookkeeping, tax preparation, and support for grant proposals.
