I have earned a living as a professional performance drummer and vocalists for over 35 years. I received an Associates Arts degree from Northern Virginia Community College in the late 1970s and spent years performing with many well known local DC area musicians, including Deanna Bogart, Daryl Davis, Linwood Taylor,Billy Hancock, Ruby Hayes, Michelle Walker, and Ron Holloway. I left the DC area for the West Coast in 1988 and spent 3 years working a circuit between LA and San Diego, mostly performing and recording with Glen and Mark Fisher under the name Fish and the Seaweeds. I then came back to the East Coast and performed and recorded with the Section Eight, featuring Barry Sless and Mokie Segil, who are now touring with Phil Lesh of Greatful Dead fame. I then toured from 1992 to 1996 with Relix recording artists, Solar Circus, recording 4 CDs with them. Jason Crosby played piano and violin for Solar Circus and has gone on to perform and record with many national acts (currently w/ Robert Randolf). Jason & I performed a set with Bruce Springsteen while with Solar Circus. We also opened for such notable groups as,The Band, Hot Tuna, Taj Mahal, Widespread Panic, Aquarium Rescue Unit, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Jefferson Starship, Moe, and God Street Wine. I recently was chosen to play percussion, backing up Skunk Baxter from the Doobie Brothers/Steely Dan. I have recorded and/or performed with Joe Glazer, Sassparilla, the Bruce Middle Jazz trio, Wayne Wilentz, the Deacons, Juggling Suns,Splintered Sun light, WildMan and others. I have taken a master class with Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez and just finished a three-year graduate program with scholarship at the Levin School of Music in DC under the direction of Tom Teasley.
