It was a great honor to play “Flowers” at the 66th Grammys with @mileycyrus and her amazing band. I’m very grateful to @maxephronbernstein and @directionmusicgroup for giving me the opportunity. Congrats to Miley & co. for winning two awards. 🏆🏆🎉🎉 I heard Oprah started a mosh pit. 🕺🏽
Here’s my short rendition of the famous #snoopdogg #drdre masterpiece.

Today is my 46th birthday, and I just got beat at tennis, 4-6.🎾
Coincidence? Think again. It’s possible that I planned it that way…subconsciously. Either way, I’m grateful to lose! I need MORE TENNIS. I need MORE MUSIC. Mostly, I need to hang out with MY FRIENDS MORE. Let’s jam. 🎸💨😘
Since the dawn of time, drums and electric guitar have kept the beat of humanity flowing down the river of consciousness into the future of yesterday’s tomorrows, and sometimes even tomorrow’s fortnights of yesteryear. That’s why I’ll be playing improvised music with my friend Corey Fogel this Sunday, March 1st, at Bub & Grandma’s restaurant. Come chew your way to a new you! See you there. 🥁🎸💗💨
“Spartacus” by Branford Marsalis. Dedicated to @gilsharone who showed me this album c. 1998, and @gabrialmcnair who airdropped me a chart c. 2025. 🙏🏽

Here’s me soloing over the end of a Steely Dan song called “Glamour Profession”, at the 4th Annual Donald Fagen Birthday Tribute Concert at @lodgeroom last night. I had a great time. 💗🎸~

🎉 Happy New Year! Although the Davinian Detanglarian Calendar®️ operates on a much longer and more advanced timeframe, I’m happy to also acknowledge the Gregorian calendar, which may or may not have been invented by robed people who loved reverb-drenched vocalizations.
I had the privelege of spending most of 2025 on tour with Leon Bridges, and it was awesome. It was so much fun that it felt like the year flew by. I also played some really amazing free-improvisation concerts with friends new & old, and I had tons of fun. I’m very grateful for every musical experience and I look forward to the next ones (Lodge Room Jan. 10th!). In the meantime, I’ll be home in Los Angeles w/ my sweet fam. Please hit me up if you’re in LA and want to do any of the following:
1. Play and/or record music
2. Drink matcha
3. Walk
4. Play tennis
