waybackwednesday – 2017 Pedal on the Pier with Dion Jackson and the Laker Girls. This fundraiser is always good fun for a great cause: music, fitness, and entertainment all rolled into one. It’s a fun challenge for me too, because I’m jamming live with a DJ without any rehearsal or any idea of what songs they might play. It’s an honor just to be a part of these events alongside great musicians and entertainers such as Flea, Norwood Fisher, Craig Robinson, and many others

I don’t play with a guitar pick very often.
I don’t play with a guitar pick very often. However, sometimes you really need that really aggressive attack that you can only achieve by using a pick. I just ordered a new, updated design for my custom bass picks from @steveclaytoninc . Thanks again to @hearmedraw for designing a great logo for me!

throwbackthursday – a few years back, performing a warm-up with Dion Jackson for a Walk for MS. I love getting to mix my passions, and with these events I get to intertwine my love for volunteering, fitness & adaptive athletics, and music. Having Dion as a friend and a mentor makes these experiences priceless. The MS Walk is going virtual for 2020 (link to more info in my Instagram bio).

Close-up detail of the @alperiouspickguard on my @ernieballmusicman Stingray 5HH “Sakura” bass. It’s a one-of-a-kind work of art, super durable, and it adds a nice, subtle change in tone and increase of sustain. I love the single lotus blossum around the pickup selector switch.
