Current bands: Grant Gordy Quartet, Gypsy Swing Revue, TheSaurus, Jake Schepps and Expedition, Ayo Awosika, Jayme Stone's John Hartford Tribute Band, and finally the Eric Sanders Band. I am also a sub in the Jayme Stone Quartet and Taarka. I host the Dazzle Jam Session every Tuesday from 9 to 12 with Dan Schwindt (guitar) and Todd Reid (drums), two of the best players in the Denver jazz scene. I play every Wednesday from 7 to 10 at the Irish Snug with Gypsy Swing Revue, the best Django band in Colorado. Unfortunately I have to sub out these weekly gigs frequently, so keep an eye on my schedule for my latest whereabouts.
