Performance

 JOHN LEGEND
Great melodies, soulful musicians, and hard-hittin' drum beats...it was a lot of fun. Check out John and his new endeavors at www.johnlegend.com. Multi-platinum baby!

AMOS LEE 
Met Amos at a Tin Angel gig while performing with John Legend. Eventually, worked in his first EP and did a few early gigs and showcases with him. Such a natural/angelic voice!<br>
OM
A free jazz group consisting of individuals who I truly admire. David Steeter, sax/music instructor; Michael Patterson, bass/composer; Ketu, jimbe; and Jack Patton, vibes.

SHAG
This funk band was an addition to my "pocket". Produced and managed by the legendary Bootsy Collins, we played six nights a week spreading the funk across the country. The discography lists as follows: "Bootsie Collins presents Shag LIVE" and "Silver City".

FAMBOOEY
This eclectic band evolved into a well known powerhouse in Bloomington, IN. The style was a melting pot of James Brown, Sly, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Fishbone. We played many gigs which included two trips to Austin, TX for the SXSW Music Festival. The group was managed by Vivi Entertainment. The discography is as follows: "Succulent" as well as several debuts on compilation albums. I hear the group has reborn in Atlanta, GA...keep an ear out!
