ensemble
Machete Kisumontao
For about a decade I was a member of this Puertorican Salsa-Fusion band based in Pittsburgh, led by the dynamic entertainer Genia Musica. I played trombone, percusion, and vocals. It was a fun, high-energy group that always got the audience dancing! Watch this short documentary here to get the full story.
Strange Cocktail
Elevator Girl was written by John Raymond, creator of the band Strange Cocktail. The track was recorded and produced here in Pittsburgh. I’m featured on electric guitar and background vocals. Strange Cocktail is taking a break from performing at the moment. I will keep you updated about future happenings.

Musicians network to thrive. I’ve been fortunate to play with several amazing troupes in the past few years, including this indie-ska band called The Pressure.
basement tapes
Here are some secrets from the vault. Strange Cocktail is a hard-working band with all-original material. In 2019 we were arranging and rehearsing in the basement studio at Zelinsky Studios. Spread Myself Too Thin is one of one of my favorite songs written by John Raymond.
