About Me:

Top Five Bands/Artists:

1.     RUSH

2.     The Darkness

3.     The Police

5.     Queens of the Stone Age

 

First Concert: Count Basie Orchestra was truly my first concert and to this day Corner Pocket is still one of my favorite songs.  My first rock concert was Aerosmith at Alpine Valley, which was a cool experience because they had the main stage in the amphitheater and a second stage setup in the lawn. They played sets on both stages which was fun and super engaging for everyone there.

 

Favorite Concert:  Being a drummer and percussionist I have an affinity for RUSH.  And seeing them a few years ago was my favorite concert.  It always amazes me how three people can create such a wall of intricate sound.
