Super thankful for the opportunity to tour Europe the past few weeks! We played 11 shows in Germany, France, Czech Republic, + Switzerland, and also got to visit Italy, Austria, and the Netherlands. Everyone's hospitality made us feel very welcome, especially in Germany, where we played 7 of the shows. Can't wait to go back, much love to all who hosted and supported us!! 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇨🇿🇨🇭🇮🇹🇦🇹🇳🇱

Last week, I got to play my first show at the Bijou Theatre with @connorkellyandthetimewarp When I was going to school in Knoxville, it became my favorite room in the city and it was such an honor to be on stage there. It was extra special to have 3 of my drumming mentors and friends at the show @_ryanread@daileyryan and @keith.r.brown.16 my private instructor and professor for 4 years at UT. Truly appreciate all who came out and supported, see ya next time 😊

My Nana was my biggest fan. She had this way of telling me how special I was at whatever I was doing: school, sports, music, anything. Mostly because I was her grandson, of course! But she spoke so much confidence into me, and from such a young age, that I then became confident in myself. I'm still learning how to keep that fire going all the time, like most of us, but man what a powerful gift. Thank you Nana, love you forever 🕊️❤️
Last couple months with @connorkellyandthetimewarp 30 shows and went everywhere from California to Maine!!! Happy to be home and thankful for all the memories and friends we made 🥰

🥁🎥 "The Spirit of Radio" by Rush
A couple months ago, me and the boys @connorkellyandthetimewarp@benkellyguitar@thee_analog_kid were in a goofy mood and pulled this song out during a (very) low-attended gig in Birmingham. After listening back to our attempt, we realized we should actually rehearse it next time 😅 So a couple weeks ago, we're getting ready for our Knoxville show and all decided to give it a real chance. I think all of us have listened to Rush forever, but I know this was my first time trying to cover one of their songs live all the way through. I definitely rushed 😏 a couple fills and there were some flubs, but I had to post as it was truly one of the most fun on-stage moments for me personally. Happy Monday and shoutout to the late, great Neil Peart 🫡
