In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
Listening to my cassettes on a family trip to Canada What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Television, Marquee Moon
The Beach Boys, Pet Sounds
Thelonious Monk, Solo Monk (Expanded Edition)
Excellent dual guitar work by Television, first heard this at Amoeba Records in San Francisco. Biting and melodic!
Solo Monk- instantly transports you to a different space
Pet Sounds- great orchestration, really moving instrumentals Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song.
“Gunpowder Falls/Interlude (feat. Phil Cook & Justin Mazer)”
A short musical vignette I wrote that can transport you to many different places, featuring 3 of my favorite musicians in the world- Erik Deutsch, Justin Mazer, and Phil Cook. Simple and open to interpretation. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
In no particular order-
Performing at the Kennedy Center, playing at Red Rocks, playing "At the Show" w/ Marco Benevento, collaborating w/ my great friends on my debut release, playing "Truckin" w/ Bob Weir
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
Future goals include to keep writing, and perform in Japan, and become good enough to perform a solo piano show!
