I started this website about 6 years ago now as
a way to promote my new band, as well as the
activities of other groups I was friends with, such
as Nightwolf. The trio ran it's course and I went
on to put together a 10 piece horn band.

The horn band was a lot of fun and a lot of work.
It crashed and burned after a year under the egos
of so many extremely talented people. The same
day it disbanded, I put together The Rhythm Junkies
with Curtis and Vincent. Vincent left and he was
replaced by a great keyboard player, Tracy Stokes.
Due to the usual creative tensions, I ended up
leaving the band but they continue to be a force of
nature!

I have been lucky to have nearly always
been associated with unimaginably
talented people! I recently played a 
wedding with Kevin, Tom and Marc.
Although I hadn't had the chance to
play with Kevin and Marc in 5 years,
and I had never played with Tom before,
after a few rehearsals the wedding went
off SO well. Since I know so many players,
I decided that instead of settling for one
band, I'll form The Rhythm Nation.

As the name implies, The Rhythm Nation is a
LARGE database of singers, guitar players,
bassists, keyboard players, horn players as
well as other drummers and percussionists
I've played with. Depending on the gig, The 
Rhythm Nation may be a jazz trio, a Motown
horn band or a rock band. What all the
combinations will have in common is great
vocals and great playing!

We've had our trials finding the right people for this band. 
With Tracy and Ricky on keys and bass, respectively, we 
have an absolutely killer band! To update this post,
Cole has taken Ricky's place on bass. He's awesome!

The Rhythm Junkies have been together for about 2 1/2
months now, and it's been a ball! We've gone through
some changes. Filling the bass spot with the right person
has been a challenge. Vince started the journey with me
and Curtis, and has moved on. We played our first show
before we were even a month old and got requests for
encores! I'll try to keep this blog updated.
