About

 Hello all:

I'm mainly a trombonist who has recently relocated to College Station from Fayetteville, Arkansas. I have played in that area for about 3 years with small groups like Opal Fly and the Swatters and the Fayetteville Jazz Collective big band. I play a lot of styles including jazz, Dixieland, big band, salsa, and shows and have done pit work for musicals and played for orchestras in Florida and New Jersey. With small groups and big band, I also do vocals and scat.

I'm also a tubist and have done a little work on electric bass, and have played a lot on bass trombone and euphonium. Nevertheless, tenor bone and tuba are my mainstays.

I'm in Houston frequently because of my wife's job, so I'm quite willing to make the trek down the highway from BCS to Houston for gigs etc.
