- PLAYING -

I keep inspired by doing a variety of things. My creative identity and conceptual approach is rooted in a jazz mentality, but any music that gets people dancing and/or smiling is fine by me.

Some of the things I'm up to these days:

Maria in the Shower   -  www.mariaintheshower.com
Music with a dose of theatrical performance. Quirky tunes and live antics. Bring your dancing shoes.

Rolla Olak   -  www.rollaolak.com

LaLa Band   -  jazz quintet

Sawhead Trio   -  jazzish trio, with Jeff Younger (gtr), and Russell Sholberg (bass)

Apparatus  -  experimental performance art / free jazz ensemble that explores compositional devices and themes.  We are a collective of about a dozen musicians, normally performing as a septet.
