In 2022 I played some sweet rigs with some incredible musicians surrounding me and supporting me. Thank you to @ccdrumco @istanbulagop @innovativepercussion @ludwigmusser @nelson_drum_shop @prodrumhollywood 🥁🎶✌🏼. I feel like I accomplished so much as a drummer this year while also playing my first ever solo shows under my name as an artist. This year was a huge turning point for me in that regard - finally stepping forward and performing solo despite my fears. I’m so grateful to have played at Club Congress, Tucson Folk Festival, Gold Diggers and White Feather Farm. I can’t wait to play more solo shows in 2023, my next appearance is at the legendary Hotel Cafe in Hollywood on January 10th! As a drummer I continue to feel awe at how far I have come in this business; farther than I ever imagined. The lessons I learn on this journey are not easy but I look toward the future with optimism that the experiences of 2022 will ease my path into 2023. This year I played more late night TV, my first ACL, had the honor of drumming alongside Rick Allen for Lauren Monroe, played drums for John Hamm in “Confess, Fletch”, sidelined in 80 For Brady (out 2/3/23), recorded with Matt Rollings, became a member of the Recording Academy, played marimba on a Grammy Nominated album (Gaby Moreno) for the first time, enjoyed being part of a flourishing jazz trio with Nadav Peled and Jake Leckie with a monthly gig @tabularasabar under my name, and so many more incredible experiences I can’t begin to list them all and I hope I don’t offend anyone by keeping this paragraph short. I am overwhelmed by the opportunities I’ve been granted and I know they are precious -it’s important to try to be as grateful in the moment you’re playing because the moments are fleeting...
