    Note: This is not a complete list of every venue I’ve played—just a selection of places I’ve performed over the years. Some of these venues no longer exist, while others were part of instrumental gigs, jazz performances, or other musical projects outside of my main work. Additionally, this list doesn’t include some of the original projects I’ve been involved in.

No two performances are ever the same. Sets can move from familiar songs into tasteful improvisation, genre shifts, and extended solos when the room is into it—always adapting to the vibe of the night.
