BUZZ BANDS LA
"One of the most enchanting indie-pop albums you'll hear this year. Its winsome mix of string, glockenspiel and keyboard-flavored confessionals reminds me of the likes of Randy Newman, Harry Nilsson and the Magnetic Fields. It's stuff that will soften the hardest heart." READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE

FEED YOUR HEAD
"Sublime and electrifying. I picked up their CD Field Guide To the Wilds, and upon first listening, decided this was one of the best bands I've heard." READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE

RADIO FREE SILVERLAKE
"This is where his Orchestra succeeded in plastering me all over the back wall by the perfect quality of their music and professionalism of their delivery when I first saw them, earlier this year. This band appears to have been born, fully formed." READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE

SPINNING PLATTERS
"Every moment of every song there was a smile, a pounding foot, a dance, something pure and fantastic straight from their soul." READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE

   About his Orchestra
"We all sit in his orchestra, some play their fiddles, some wield their clubs. Tonight is worthy of music. Let's get loose with compassion, let's drown in the delicious Ambience of Love." (The Sufi poet Hafiz)







Formed in December of 2006, his Orchestra has been growing steadily in size adding orchestral friends along the way. Now playing with up to 7 members and based out of Los Angeles. Their debut album, "Field Guide to the Wilds," mixed by Dave Trumfio (Wilco, My Morning Jacket, Mates Of State) with a reprise track produced by Jimmy Tamborello (DNTL, Postal Service) is now available on iTunes! Having just finished a slew of shows including a successful residency at Silverlake Lounge, a sold out performance at the Troubadour, and a show at the Beatles Revolution Lounge in Vegas, as well as getting good blog love from Buzzbands (Kevin Bronson), Feed Your Head, and Plays Well With Others, his Orchestra is ready and willing to continue it's quest through the wilderness of the Los Angeles independent music scene. Stay tuned for more details!
