I grew up about 25 miles west of Chicago Illinos, USA. I started playing the drums when I was 10. I went to college in Chicago-now I live there. I've been pretty lucky to play with and learn from some great musicians.
Currently I play with:
Poi Dog Pondering-an ever/morphing rock collective that's comprised of some amazing musicians who also happen to be amazing people.
Tributosaurus: The Ever/changing musical beast of many faces. We've been playing the first Wed. of every month at Martyrs in Chicago since August of 2002. We play the music of a different band every month and faithfully recreate the studio recordings of everyone from Steely Dan to The Replacements, bringing in some of the finest guest players in town and beyond to fit the bill for that month's musical menu.
Blue Man Group Chicago: I've been a Drum sub for the Chicago production since November 1999.
hey man.. so great to play with you at tributo 2 weeks ago. You are a joy to play with. I saw Steve Frisbie tonight and he mentioned that you popped something in your wrist or something...
hope you're alright... need to talk Matt into doin the EELS. ....im in.. x
I sincerely hope you and JP can trek to LA (I can help with accomodations if you like, or find the cleanest affordable spot to stay in)for our first show (most likely at The Mint).
I want to you be my/our drummer for ever and ever, cause it's just like that.
