I'm currently playing jazz drums in Charlotte with two groups--with Bill Hanna on Tuesday nights at the Double Door Inn and with the Presley Brothers trio on Saturday nights at Blue. I also regularly peform with ESP, which features Phillip Berkley on bass.
My original project, Actual Proof, is currently performing in the South-East. Actual Proof's music is a unique blend of jazz, world-beat, and funk. The group released its debut CD "Paradigm Shift" in July of 2009. It is currently available on iTunes and CDBaby.
