As my name got around the NY scene I found myself working Helga Davis – a fantastically talented artist whom I adore and loved working with. Among the titans that came through her band I had the honor to play with as well as learn from were bassist Jason DiMatteo. Jason had a band with his then beau, Katherine Miller – another supremely talented artist. Together they had a project called Lumatic to which I was enlisted to play in and eventually record with.

The band was centered around the amazing Katherine’s eclectic composition skills, which smoothly married the sounds of PJ Harvey and Radiohead contained with the occasional odd time signature. Along with stellar guitar experimentalists Shahzad Ismaily and Ty Citterman we proceeded to make a great record together.

As for listening to the tracks I encourage you to check out the entire album on Spotify or Apple Music. Aside from Hypnotic Haze, Wake Up, Go Fish and Chugalug, I  played on every tune with various guitars, pedals and amps.
