One of my favorite moments from our last @westside_revival @harvellessm monthly residency! …but did you spot the iguana? 🦎 #psychrock #improvrock #livejams #jambands #longhairmen

One of my favorite moments from the last @galaxytwinsmusic Venice Beach boardwalk day — and to be honest my favorite project to date. I’ve always had a vision of being in a band like this: bringing together the best elements of rock and electronic music, fusing them into something original. That being said — the whole improv/jam thing came completely outta left field. I never saw myself being in a “jam band” — I’ve never been a fan of any jam band in particular and generally dislike the genre as a whole (I can *maybe* name a few Grateful Dead songs 😅) — but after playing with @iianjjoseph & @jonathanburx for the first time (and especially after recording our 1st album) I felt what people feel from jam/improv bands. The eternal chase for that perfect, fleeting moment. And the bliss when you’re able to capture it. Every time I play with Galaxy Twins (including our extended improv family, who have made us grow in so many ways) I feel like I’ve evolved. It’s a live snapshot of my growth as a musician and I couldn’t be more honored to share that with y’all. Thank you 🙏 #galaxytwinsmusic #galaxytwins #summerishere #summerinvenice #venicebeach #venicebeachcalifornia #losangelessummer #psychrock #electrorock #longhairdontcare #curlyhaircrew #70smensfashion #livemusiclives #electronicrock

Had a blast trying out the fantastic @zutagroup pedals on my Novation Bass Station! While it excels at bass tones (duh 😜) I’ve always had a problem with higher octave lead tones sounding too weak/8-bit Nintendo — I think these pedals have solved that! Pedals Featured — Duality (two-channel distortion/overdrive) Xpressor (Compressor) FRED (Envelope filter + distortion) Ström (Power Supply) All mounted on Zuta’s beautiful Holy Rail pedal board. Thanks again to Zuta founder Baskim Zuta (@baskim ) for the hookup! #basssynth #synthlife #justice #daftpunk #m83 #electronicrock #electro#

Going all out this year — getting my voice back 💪 It’s been a rough journey, but worth all the trials + tribulations. I’m much stronger musician and person for it. Shoutout to @jonathanburx @mattbecks & @disturbed for the inspiration. #throatsinging #overtonesinging #throatsinger #overtonesinging #throatchakra #disturbed #disturbedband #curlyhairclub

Bucket List Moment — being able to say I’ve worked with a Beatle. I never film shows (and especially while working) but this one was special. Next to @ringostarrmusic is Toto lead singer/guitarist @stevelukatherofficial (who brought me in for a hug after the show, thanked me for my work), and @stprobertdeleo (got to chat for a sec with him too, thanked him for all he’s done for modern rock) This show was also special because I finally feel like I’m 100% “part of the crew” over at SAS/The Orpheum Theatre. And apologies to any of my team leads watching this — that first Ringo clip was unscripted, he just bolted on & offstage for the closer 😅 (you can hear my spotlight buddy Frank laughing because I didn’t quite ‘catch’ Ringo at the end. I blame the lighting director for not cueing me 😝) All said & done — thanks to everyone that’s with me on this wild journey. I don’t know how far I will go — but I’m here for the ride regardless 😎
