Performance

Available for live music, recording, and collaborations

I'm a professional bassist with performance credits including the Java Jazz Festival in Jakarta, the Monterey Jazz Festival and Concord Jazz Festival in California, and festivals across Mexico. I've backed up the Shirelles, the Drifters, and the Coasters as a bassist in their touring bands, and I recorded and toured with Tom Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Today, I work as an active freelance bassist across blues, jazz, big band, R&B, fusion, Latin, and roots-based music, performing live, recording in the studio, and supporting bandleaders and collaborative projects throughout the Denver metro area and beyond.

Availability

I am available for live performance, recording sessions, sub work, and collaborative projects. Based in the Denver metro area, with travel considered depending on the project.

I value clear communication, preparation, and musical sensitivity, and I aim to support both the music and the people creating it.
