About Me |
|
| I've played music all my life. I grew up in Livermore, Ca. where my parents started me on piano at the age of three. I moved through lots of instruments, flute, violin, french horn, eventually settling on the cello and upright bass. I attended Berklee College of Music on a scholarship where I majored in Jazz Performance. After meeting a bunch of bluegrassers in college, I left after three years to play in the Two High String Band. It was while I was living in Austin and playing with them that I met Peter Rowan. I started playing with Peter in the fall of '98, then Tony Rice joined up in '99 to form the Peter Rowan & Tony Rice Quartet. Years later, I moved away from the beautiful Texas hill country to Nashville, where I currently live. That move proved to be the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm still playing upright bass and cello, and I'm honing my vocal skills. I currently play with Patty Griffin on her "Children Running Through" tour. Here are more projects I'm involved in: Current Bands: Patty Griffin Darol Anger's Republic of Strings The Tony Rice Unit Megan McCormick Bands I've played in: Peter Rowan & Tony Rice Quartet Old and in the Gray Nashville Mandolin Ensemble Uncle Earl Guy Clark Shawn Camp Jim Lauderdale People I've played onstage with: Emmylou Harris Ray Price Ian McLagan Bela Fleck Allison Krauss Jerry Douglas Sam Bush Chris Thiele Mark Howard Gillian Welch Dave Rawlings Vassar Clements Mark O'Connor Michael Doucet David Doucet David Bromburg Linda Ronstadt Tim O'Brien Darrell Scott Mike Marshall Yonder Muntain String Band Jeff Austin Oteil Burbridge Stuart Duncan Jon Randall Ralph Stanley Some albums I've played on: "Workbench Songs" - Guy Clark "Quartet" - Peter Rowan and Tony Rice "You Were There for Me" - Peter Rowan and Tony Rice "Old and in the Gray" - Old and in the Gray "High Lonesome Cowboy" - Don Edwards and Peter Rowan "Ford Turrell" - Ford Turrell "Generation Nation" - Republic of Strings Projects I'm working on: Megan McCormick Jen Duke TV shows I've been on: David Letterman Jay Leno Ellen Degeneres Movies I'm in: "Bluegrass Journey" "Music Farmers" This is a show from August 1st in Santa Fe... |
