Foolish Relics
This is a Bradenton-area ska band I joined in 2025 as their trumpet player. High-energy horns-up ska. Our latest album Somebody Please Just Wake Me Up dropped in 2025.
- Jun 1 — Bottom of the Hill, San Francisco CA
- Jun 6 — The Holding Company, San Diego CA
Cypress Creek Dixieland
Traditional dixieland band out of the Wesley Chapel / Pasco County area, going strong for 12+ years. I'm a founding member and their tuba player — the bottom of the rhythm section. We play at New Tampa Performing Arts Center, Carrollwood Cultural Center, neighborhood clubhouses, festivals, private events, breweries, and anywhere that needs some New Orleans flavor in central Florida.
Gaspar Brass Quintet
Named for José Gaspar — Tampa Bay's legendary pirate — this is a fun brass quintet: two trumpets, French horn, trombone, and tuba. A founding member. We play transcriptions, show tunes, jazz arrangements, brass quintet literature, and the occasional arrangement that nobody in the audience expected.
Wesley Chapel Wind Ensemble
Community wind ensemble serving Wesley Chapel and New Tampa. Founding member, circa 2010. The Cypress Creek Jazz Band and Gaspar Brass both grew out of this ensemble.
Dade City Symphony
Community symphony serving Pasco County. I hold the principal tuba chair — meaning when there's a tuba part, it's mine. Standard orchestral repertoire from the Classical through Romantic periods, performed for the communities of Dade City and Zephyrhills.
