New Group Featuring Jenna Jackman

I have been collaborating for some time with up-and-coming artist Jenna Jackman, and we are going to begin performing now. Bart Olson and I have been performing together for the past 15 years on and off, and he will be joining us on drums.

We are going for a downtempo, electronica, and trip-hop mixed with Jenna's melodic sensibilities.

Downtempo/Electronica music

I've been doing some gigs with djs, and by myself, and now I'm going to try out performing my downtempo/electronica compositions with a live drummer. Listen to what it sounds like:

I really enjoy playing different musical styles. Over the years I have performed in reggae, hip-hop, blues, ska, rock, pop, latin, brazilian, concert, and of course jazz bands. The downtempo/electronic music is a very fun and different musical style, yet very accessible for audiences.
