Oh my it’s been a long time since I’ve sent out a newsletter. So much exciting stuff has been going on that I haven’t had a chance. I'm thrilled to give you an update now!
I had a very busy summer full of rewarding performances throughout the Puget sound area and beyond. This fall I had a great tour of schools in Washington, Montana, and Idaho. I am terribly excited about the creative possibilities of my very unique musical setup as I continue to master all this new technology.
I am hoping in about one week to have my first on-line, gamified lesson posted for Ian Dobson’s Rhythm Academy. Please keep your eyes out for a newsletter regarding that shortly. I would love for as many kids as possible to sign up and give it a try!
Please come and join me in the next several days for some creative, rhythmic, tropical fun. Here are some upcoming public shows:

This fall I created a bunch of remixes of live shows. I remixed all of my shows from my Montana/Idaho tour and a good number of library and festival shows and workshops from last summer. Please click here to check them out on my youtube channel.
If you saw one of my shows in 2015 and don’t see a remix of that show here please let me know if you would be interested in having one. If I get enough interest in a particular show I may be able to create a remix of it.
I have already booked a ton of library shows for summer 2016. I have a special show this summer in honor of the olympics called:
Clap Hands, Stomp Feet, Find Brazil’s Olympic Beat
Please click here to see all the shows and workshops I am currently offering.
I look forward to seeing you at one of these winter shows!
