Jan. 24, 2011: I recently auditioned for and was invited to be the new regular drummer for the Brooklyn-based band “Mamarazzi.” We are already setting show dates for the coming Spring and will be very active in NYC and Boston. This gypsy-funk-hip-hop group already has a very strong following and the ultimate in feel-good and make-you-move-yo-body musicality. We are tightening up and looking forward to this new collaboration of Mamarazzi. Check us out!

April 30, 2011: I’ve been invited to score the music for a production of the popular Arthur Miller play “The Crucible.” This play is about the Salem witch trials in New England and the music I’m writing is primarily drum-based. The instrumentation is 3 percussionists, flute, piano, violin and viola. I’ll be recording the score soon, so stay tuned for that.
