RECENT STUDIO WORK with JOHN OVNIK of DEAF DOG STUDIOS.

Recently, I have been in the studio recording on various projects with Grammy awarded producer JOHN OVNIK. Working and learning as a session guitarist under someone like John has been a priceless experience thus far as I continue to learn from one of the best in the field. 

Some recent projects include various name brands, bands, and solo artists to name a few.

LAUREN FROST’s album, Words For The Birds, is currently up for several grammy nominations in which I am featured on several tracks. Lauren Frost is an actress and singer/songwriter, who performed nationally and internationally with Ms. Barbra Streisand in Ms. Streisand’s Timeless concert tours.Lauren has won numerous singing awards, including the honor of “Outstanding Female Singer” at the 22nd Annual Young Artist Awards in Studio City, California.

ROBYN McCORQUODALE is a great vocalist from Canada who has a great album about to come out! Over the last few weeks I have been in the studio creating and reading guitar parts for her newest album yet to be titled. Also featured on this album as music arranger is the great JON WEBER who has played with drummer Mark Walker, tenor sax master Eric Alexander, trumpeters Diego Urcola and Roy Hargrove, bassists Avishai Cohen, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, and Peter Washington, plus vibraphonist Gary Burton.!

More updates and info on the way!

The HUE opening for Karl Denson Trio

Karl Denson, of the Greyboy Allstars & Tiny Universe, has returned to his roots with KD3, the Karl Denson Trio. Featuring Anthony Smith (Global Funk and Giant People) on keys and Brett Sanders (older brother of KDTU drummer John Staten) on drums; KD3 is a bold statement about jazz, past, present and future. Staying true to Karl’s vision of jazz as dance music, he manages to find the funky side of things in some very unexpected places.

The HUE will be opening a show for KD3 at the Abbey Pub on Saturday, Sept 15. Come on out!
