Projects

I love playing jazz. My most recent steady gig was at the Knickerbocker Hotel, just across from the Drake in downtown Chicago. I took over the gig from pianist Ben Paterson, and bassist Daniel Thatcher took over for Patrick Mulcachy. Chad Willetts, the solo pianist during the week, switched over to drums for our late-night sets.

Check out Spiral Organ Trio, featuring myself on the Hammond B-3 organ, guitarist Terry Bartolotta, and drummer Lucas Gillan. We've been playing recently at Braxton's in Oak Brook, and we include some jazz treatments of more 'modern' pop songs by artists such as Michael Jackson and the Beatles.

I also play with Gone To Paradise, the 'ultimate Jimmy Buffett tribute band.'

If you're in the mood for some 80's rock, book Hello McFly for your next party. We specialize in an eclectic mix of the decade of decadence's greatest pop and rock hits.

I've been working on my Latin jazz chops recently with Crosswind, a seven piece band led by percussionist Greg Penn. We frequently play clubs and events on the South Side of Chicago.

Every Sunday morning at 10:00 am I am behind the console of the 1962 Wicks "Fourward Four" pipe organ at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Skokie, IL. We have a great priest, Rev'd Kate Guistolise, who always makes the service interesting. I have been involved in an ongoing organ expansion project which has added six more ranks of pipes to the original organ.
