​If you want to know my normal gig schedule check facebook but I thought it was worth posting this here. 
I was invited by Matt Hughes to join his "Jazz at the Pub" Series as the guest artist for the night. He asked me to bring a bunch of my originals and we rehearsed them with the band and made a night of originals at the Pub.
Here's "Help Me Please," one of my original songs from the night of entertainment. Performed by Whitney Ashe on Keys, Matt Hughes on Bass, George Turner on Guitar and myself on Vocals. 



I wrote a play for the 19th Annual Bring Your Own Play (BYOP) Ten Minute Play Festival at Western Illinois University. My play, Light, is set in an art Museum (right).

I also directed Molly Montgomery's play, The Clarinet-Trumpet Attraction Hypothesis (below).
