Current projects:

Monthly bluegrass/dead themed show at Medusa featuring a rotating special guest each month

four-piece improvisational band primarily at a local bar in Hudson, MA. We are called Mechanical Rat. We play a mix of our favorite “feel-good” music, and take chances together that sometimes work in our favor and other times do not :)
various sit-ins with bands throughout the Northeast - primarily central MA & Boston!
performing solo and in duo lineups throughout the northeast, playing a good mix of bluegrass and old time music.
