I have been a freelance trumpet player in NYC since 1996. I am horrible at posting gig announcements, and I never send out mass gig emails, so I created this direct scrape from my gig calendar. Hopefully someday I’ll forget that it’s shared with this website and I’ll write some embarrassing notes on the gig. First one to call me out gets a free guestlist spot at a gig of their choice!

Here are just a few of the hundreds of bands and projects I’ve played with and recorded with over the years
The Nevermind Orchestra – The world’s only all-brass Nirvana tribute band! Mad Juana – The most amazing band I’ve ever been in … Gypsy/punk/rock mayhem! Jesse Malin – Founder of D Generation, and general raconteur of all things punk rock The Jayhawks – Legendary Midwest rockers still touring like road dogs Indofunk – My now-defunkt (but still amazingly awesome!) Indian-jazz-fusion band Pasha’s Dream – Acoustic guitar/Firebird trumpet duo playing Indian-influenced raga jams The Stingers – NYC’s hottest party band Alina Simone – A wonderfully talented singer-songwriter-author-raconteur I have the pleasure of playing with every so often Mama Digdown’s Brass Band – Traditional New Orleans-style brass band I played with in Wisconsin Linda Chorney – Grammy®-nominated Americana artist Orlando Marin – The Last Mambo King!
Also, special guest appearances with the following artists who you may have heard of! Bruce Springsteen Joan Jett Green Day/Billie Joe Armstrong Clem Burke/Debbie Harry (Blondie) Dweezil Zappa Branford Marsalis
