Manifest Insanity!
My friends over at NXNW Records just released the Reverend Loose Morals + Confederacy of Dunces album and it sounds great! I had the pleasure of playing on the following track. If you are looking for some quality DIY Punk/Americana, look no further than this talented group from Portland, OR.
This is some video that was taken of the Freedom Showband doing a little jazz jam last year. The video was shot by the amazing musicians from an R&B/Funk Band that were playing on this cruise. I didn’t even know this existed until 10 minutes ago! Small world eh?
The holidays are upon us, and this seems like as good a time as any to post some footage of what I’ve been up to since the end of August. These clips were all taken by me with my trusty Flip camera.
For those musicians out there looking for information on what a cruise line gig might entail, this is a good example of more of the “pop/rock” side of things. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
Enjoy!
