Zero Detail - Progress and 10 March show at Warehouse Live!

Good morning music friends! 

I wanted to take a moment to shout out my band, Zero Detail (www.ZeroDetailMusic.com). These guys work super hard and I’m so excited to be working with them. Every rehearsal is a wonderful creative outlet, and shows are really just a hang with music instead of a huge chore. We’re building a following in the Houston area, and we’re hoping to expand soon. We’ve been working at Sugar Hill Studios in Houston (sugarhillstudios.com) and couldn’t be more excited to bring you all some new music!

We’re sharing the bill with some super talented folks at Warehouse (Rogues Among Us, Metanoia, and Clay Melton) on 10 March. If you are interested in attending, let one of us know for tickets ($10), or check out the website for Warehouse (WarehouseLive.com) or the TicketFly app or website (TicketFly.com).

January Recital Recap

A huge thanks to everyone that helped out and contributed their skill and time to the recital last month at the Rec Room! For all the work everyone put in, I feel like it went swimmingly! 

I’ll be posting an album with photos from the event in the next week or so, but I’d like to include a few of my favourites! 

Thanks to Space City Performing Arts (spacecityperformingarts.org) and the Rec Room (recroomhtx.com) for facilitating this wonderful event! A huge thanks goes out to Brandon MacDougal, Eileen Vaughn, and Esteban Puentes for their help on the operations side of things, as well as Greg and Tash with Rec Room for their help on the logistics side of things. It cannot be said enough that an event like this could not happen without lots of help.

Episode 8 - The Lasting Effects of Drum Corps and Drum Corps International on Modern Marching Band Directors and Students

Here’s something a little bit different! Episode 8 is a presentation of my research on the link between drum corps (and DCI) and marching band! 

SHSU Students and faculty... want to be on a podcast?

Hello music people! I'm finally settled in to my new job as well as my graduate school responsibilities. I'd like to end my podcast hiatus and start posting again in November. If you're interested in sitting down and having a chat, I'm on campus on Monday and Wednesday and in The Woodlands the rest of the time. If you have any questions about what I do, check out the first few episodes on iTunes or stitcher! 

3 April 2017 - SCI Featured Composer and Podcast!

I just got a fantastic email! Everyone check out http://www.societyofcomposers.org/index.php . You'll see that I'm the featured composer for the day! This is pretty rad; SCI is an important group for composers and other musicians too.

Also, if you haven't yet, please feel free to check out Episode 1 of Music In Our World! It's available through the previous blog post, and will hopefully soon be available through iTunes (process pending).

I had my first meeting today with the other board members of Space City Performing Arts, and I'm pleased to say that big things are in the works for this group! As soon as more details are available, I'll be happy to share with you all!
