Music

I’ve played trumpet in several bands, and toured the US and Europe.

This spring I started rehearsing with a 10-piece afrobeat band in Northeast London. No name yet, but we’re writing all original music. Last fall, I played warehouse parties and busked with Ruby Ruby Ruse, a gypsy band from NYC.

Since 2007, I’ve played on and off with Damon and the Heathens, a punk-soul band in Oakland, California. Music videos are HERE and a live performance is HERE. We toured Europe in July 2009. Live clips from the tour are HERE.
