I recently relocated to Portland, OR from Missoula, MT in order to continue pursuing my path in the live entertainment industry. There are so many people in Missoula and across the country that need to be thanked. There is no way i would be where I am without your guidance, expertise, motivation, love, and support!!
I especially appreciate having the opportunity to grow up in New Orleans. Because of the opportunities that city afforded me, my passions have always been entrenched in the arts, specifically live music... New Orleans has shaped my life and is in some way a part of everything I do. I feel very lucky to be able to take that passion and share it with others whether by performing music, or organizing behind the scenes.
Playing shows, promoting shows, producing shows... Live entertainment is my life's work... I love my job!
Hi Damon! I actually caught the tail end of the Signal Path show at The Root in Boulder last weekend. Nobody knew you guys were playing, I wish I would of gotten the word out for ya. What I saw was great, I was gonna say hi, but my group wanted to go. I did see your new keyboardist outside with some of my friends, he was hula hoopin. I should of got pics!!!
Thanks for addin me. I hope to see ya at one of Enzymes gigs some time. I dont get to too many of them, but I do my best. I finaly got a job so now I can afford to go see him. I do most of my downtown life at the OX.. Got a bit of a hangover today.. Anyway, just saw that you were on and that you "accepted" me.. hope to see ya round town. Just wanted to say "high" ... HI! ;D
GREENSKY BLUEGRASS TUES. JULY 22, 2008 THE LOFT DOORS 9PM, SHOW 10PM
Winners of the 2006 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition, Michigan’s own Greensky Bluegrass is earning recognition nationwide as a growing force in acoustic roots music... Performing at festivals, theaters, clubs and listening rooms all over the US, their rare traditional sound is piquing the interests of not only bluegrass enthusiasts, but lovers of music of all genres. It is their unique "fusion of tradition and enthusiasm for improvisation" that has come to define the band’s creative and tangible compositional style.
Hey Damon! How are you? I talked to Matt yesterday and told him to tell you that i will be at Jazzfest this year... It's my first time :-) He wasn't sure if you were going this year or not... let me know if you are!!! Hope all is well!!!
Hear the colors, see the sounds: Musical interpretation through paint
I create abstract expressions to Live music, allowing the shows energy to inspire the piece. While the bands perform, I translate their music so you hear the colors and see the sounds. Creating a show that’s unlike anything that anyone has ever seen before.
Painting live is intense - evolving with both the music and the audience along with every stroke and new color that is introduced to the canvas. Leaving all who witness, feeling as if they too, are part of creating a masterpiece. (all shows are documented digitally w/video and photo to be posted on all of my networking sites)
Honing my skills underground for 2 years across the Midwest, I have now taken this beast to the stage. Trading in paintbrushes for twisted and crumbled, recycled newspaper give me the edge and depth I need when painting. Portland has a rich performance culture and I’m thankful for the chance to have already shared the stage with some of Oregon's musical finest.
Sup Holmes! :) Didn't know I missed your birthday.. gay.. I woulda' said hello.. Dude.. Scope the new vids of me playing with Hunab Ku in my video section.. Drummers angle.. You'll be stoked.. Hope shit's good.. -lazer
Happy Mutha Smucking Birthday Brotha! Your gift is currently being framed and should get to at the beginning of next week.Beware, Its a tear jerker gift (I apologize for the delay.) Holler at me when your free. peace
My interpretive art is a live-action performance inspired by the bands I perform with. I collaborate with other musicians to create an artistic performance that's never been seen before. While the bands play on stage, I translate their music so you hear the colors and see the sounds.
Trading in paintbrushes for twisted and crumbled, recycled newspaper give me the edge and depth I need when painting. It also points out the importance of finding new uses for old things - especially when it's used to create something new.
Bands/musicians/artists,that I have worked with: Tre(lowercasesounds,Nent-Agri), Noahs ark was a spaceship, SPSRecordsnstudios, Blunt Force Monkey, The Pink Snowflakes It's all ART to me! I just love to create! Thank you all for your support, not just for me but for all independent artists.
