JAZZ ARTIST OF THE YEAR
With the abundance of hard-working and talented jazz musicians in our area, it was an absolute honor to be named “Jazz Artist of the Year“ at the inaugural Eddies - Capital Region Thomas Edison Music Awards. Everyone that was nominated in the category deserved to win that award!

Special thanks to my friends/bandmates Danny Whelchel, Rob Lindquist, George Muscatello, Matt Finck, Otto Gardner, Jarod Grieco and Lance Comer - I couldn’t have done it without you guys!
