Stagecoach was a dream.
Being recognized by @billboard as one of the top 10 best performances, surrounded by so many incredible artists, is surreal.
Grateful to be part of such an amazing team as a player and music director for the queen herself, @willowavalon . Love to everyone who made it happen. On to the next ❤️

Here’s to the memories. The love, the friendship, and the long days of hard work. Grateful for the new bonds that have guided me through this past month, and for the old ones that continue to grow stronger than ever.
Special thanks to my parents for traveling all the way to Dublin and London to catch the shows, and to the friends who came out to support. ❤️
Next up: Australia🇦🇺

When I left my first EU tour as a drum tech in 2024, I told myself that if I ever came back, I wanted to earn my way there as the drummer.
Now I’m serving as Drummer, Playback Engineer, and Music Director for the goat herself: @willowavalon , alongside my best friend on this rock: @mxxthomas .
A lot of hard work, preparation, and faith went into this moment. And the work continues. I’m unbelievably grateful for the trust, the opportunity, and the people I get to do this with. Taking none of it for granted.
MPDG tour has officially come to an end.
So many firsts on this run.
First tour with my sister.
First tour with my new SJC kit.
And first full KAYKO tour.
Feeling incredibly loved and deeply grateful.
Big news on the horizon… can’t wait to share.
Cheers 🤍

Honored to say that I’ve officially partnered with @sjcdrums as an endorsed artist!
Happy to bring another piece of Mass with me to Nashville🤟🏻
I Got my first SJC bop kit in high school (4th pic) and played it nonstop through college—now I get to bring a brand new one on the KAYKO tour in September:)
Thrilled to be apart of the team and cannot WAIT to get back to Boston and share pictures from the factory❤️
Got some BIG news coming soon that I CANNOT wait to share:)
Until then, here’s a completely random assortment of pics from my phone — plus some of my fav show pics ever taken by the queen herself, @jacquelineday that I somehow haven’t posted yet for some stupid reason.
Philly ✔️ Boston ✔️ NYC ✔️
Grateful for the beautiful friends and family in my life. It means the world to travel and have my people show up, take time out of their day, and support lil’ old me! Extra love to the ones who keep me going behind the scenes:)
Philly will always hold a special place in my heart. NYC always inspires. And Boston will always be home.🤟🏻
Huge thanks to @kaykomusic for the custom Timmy jersey🥶
Big love to @meghanmurphyphotography for being the coolest sister, roommate, and for taking killer pics in Boston🎉
And the biggest thank you to my family—playing at home and seeing everyone show up makes me feel like the coolest guy on the planet❤️
Off to Toronto✈️

Soloing in the rock space this last year has been a journey after 5 years of Pop and fusion… 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Starting to feel comfortable again🤝
Always a party with @itsbabyjake ! Cant wait to come back to Brooklyn🤟🏻
