LATEST LIVE PERFORMANCE
One of my favorite things to do is blending different styles of music into my arrangements/improvisation. This live recording was taken on April 6, 2025 when I was the guest soloist with the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra. This features my encore, my arrangement and homage to one of my favorite fiddle tunes "Jerusalem Ridge" (written by Bill Monroe and Kenny Baker). Enjoy!

Plastic Walls of Fame
If Anyone has been to any kind of festival, then you know porta potties are a big part of that experience. Yes, I am actually talking about porta potties (I even wrote a tune about a fearful experience in one). Twice I have had the honor of being on a poster that has been hung up on porta potties at festivals. I think it's hilarious, a "milestone" (?!?), and thought it was important to share what I am now calling the "Plastic Walls of Fame"!
