Piano Voice Guitar

I’ve had the honor of working with many talented musicians over the years, including those in my former Brazilian quintet, ABRAZU— personnel: Dave MacNab guitar, Kendrick Freeman percussion & vocals, Bob Afifi flute, Gabe Case bass & vocals, and myself on small percussion and lead vocals.   Thanks to Sydney & Sheri at Paige 9 Productions for the reel ~

2023 has been a year of unexpected changes for me, friends — some good, others tragic — but it all led me to a huge 30x10 foot storage unit where I kept my stuff for a few months. Here’s a song I captured on my phone cam on the last day of December when I cleared out. Acoustics were sweet and the song was meaningful…

Enjoy some low-production video footage from the home studio. This was the kind of music I’d play at farmer’s markets and intimate events around the Bay Area for many years.
