"Dammit" by blink-182 at Northside, the whole room in on it. Musicians kept coming up to add their take as the song rolled on.

A decade on stage · Chicago

Music.

Ten years of open mics, covers, and the friends I made playing them. Chicago has a stage on every other block if you go looking, and I usually do.

Open mics

The way back.

When my band fell apart, I turned away from music like it was a bad relationship. My guitar sat tucked away in my sister's basement for years, untouched. Then in 2017 something shifted, and I started finding my way back. Since then I've met a whole new group of people I feel lucky to have found in this life, and now get to call friends.

Fun moments

Acoustic percussion.

Some of my favorite moments from shows and open mics, solo and with friends. A lot of these lean on my "acoustic percussion" style, where the guitar is a drum and a guitar at the same time. Tap any of them to turn the sound on, and it keeps playing while you scroll.
