Performing

Whether it is jumping up and down excitedly while playing in front of a crowd of thousands, or playing discretely in the orchestra pit of a theater. Performing in a smokey jazz club, or all dressed up for a corporate event. I'm available for gigs of any kind; stand alone engagements, tours or long term commitments.
