It’s been a very busy 1st quarter of 2024. Amongst gigs with Adam Levy, Joyann Parker, Zacc Harris, Atlantis Quartet, Red Planet, Cody Steinmann, Abinnet Berhanu, and several others, I got some sort of flu in January, and then Covid in February. Special shout out to Matt Peterson, Dan Carpel and Erik Fratzke for stepping…

I have spent many hours in my car over the last couple of months driving to exotic locales like Evansville (pop. 412), International Falls and Grand Marais in northern Minnesota. What a fantastic way to see spring come in! From barren and grey to explosive greens in just a few weeks, it’s been such a…

So I have been settling in on my new bass; playing gigs, rehearsing, practicing and I had a brief recording session with it as well. It is quite a big change from my old bass, which was certainly to be expected, and everyone seems to be giving me positive feedback about it. I’m very pleased…

Well tomorrow I leave for Denver to pick up my new upright bass! I’m scared, nervous, apprehensive, ecstatic, happy and sad all rolled into one. It’s certainly not the end of my relationship with my current bass but it is truly a milestone in my life. I’ve played the exact same bass since the 8th…
