It’s a new year, and I’m pretty happy about it. For the first time ever I got to perform on New Year’s Eve, at a country club in Lisle, Illinois. I played alongside Ricky Liontones, a singer/songwriter who rocks as hard as anyone I’ve ever had the privilege of jamming with. I’ll be playing lots more with Ricky in the future, so stay tuned for future gigs and maybe even a commercial release someday!
Aside from that, 2022 brings other new challenges, including a new brass methods class I’m teaching at Saint Xavier University, another touring season with Presidio Brass, and the dreadful monument that is my 30th birthday.
