Biography

I am a twice Grammy-nominated drummer, producer, and animator with a grant from Portland Parks and Recreation to produce music entertainment for 2024. I already have bass, drums, and percussion covered for this project. (Unless you are a really good cabasa or shekere player.)

This will be a fun jam band with space for stretching out and enjoying guest and featured soloists. Then, when the budget allows, a larger band with a horn section and 4 percussionists will join us. Getting there will take some work, but be well worth it. We expect to attract well-paid local gigs and private events.

Kind of a Latin rock jam band version of Jujuba, one of Portland's best party bands. Check them out locally. They are inspiring.

I also run a small recording studio where all rehearsals will be recorded for an album to accompany our gigs.

The first 4 songs are as follows:

Dos Gardenias by Buena Vista Social Club - Em
Spill the Wine by War - C7
Lost Due to Incompetence by Yesca - Am
Guajira by Santana. - Am
