June: Performing at the HollyWood Fringe Festival!

5/6/2015

Hi everyone!

This June, I will be performing for ten performances of Monique Witt's Split/Screen at the 2015 Hollywood Fringe Festival in Los Angeles, California! The music that I will be performing will be all my own original compositions and arrangements, and I am extremely excited to be premiering this work at such a great festival, and for such a beautiful play. The play is about a young man named Kit who suffers a debilitating accident in Jaipur, and focuses on the people he interacts with in the ER after his legs have been paralyzed. It is amazingly well-written, and I am very much looking forward to being part of the production.

For more information, you can visit the Hollywood Fringe Festival's website, or you can visit the play's website at http://www.splitscreentheplay.com/. To see the dates and time of the performances and to order tickets, click here.

2020:

Due to COVID-19, most live concerts are being rescheduled. During the pandemic, I've been doing a live stream on my Facebook page every Sunday at 4, which can be accessed here. I've also been posting new videos on my Instagram with tributes to recently passed musicians, and I've done a handful of concerts online for venues in the US and Canada. I'm planning new tours for 2021, and I'm optimistic I'll be able to travel by then. Stay safe, and looking forward to seeing you, either online or on our next tour!
