With a musical journey spanning three decades, I’ve been dedicated to my craft as a professional drummer, much like my father before me. Originally from Memphis, TN, I relocated to Orlando in 2015 before moving further south to Fort Lauderdale in 2021. Now, as of September 4th, 2024, I now live in Indian Trail, North Carolina, where the sweet tea flows and the BBQ is second to none. Throughout my career, I’ve developed a diverse musical background, performing across multiple genres with a music catalog as extensive as a CVS receipt. I’m known as a reliable and versatile fill-in drummer with references from Memphis, Orlando, and South Florida who can vouch for my professionalism and performance quality. With the right material and prep time, I can master a setlist faster than you can say, "Free Bird."
By day, I maintain a full-time career, allowing my drumming to remain a passionate pursuit rather than a necessity. By night, I'm in a corporate variety band known as the "Uptown Party Band" based out of Charlotte. We also have a secondary 80's tribute band called "About last Night" using propritary tracks and putting on the best of 80's billboard top 100 from 1980 - 1989. We currently play all over in North and South Carolina, Tennesse, Virgina and many other areas.
Additionally, I’m experienced in performing acoustic gigs using a cajon setup, providing a professional sound for smaller, more intimate events. I can also contribute vocals when needed, ensuring versatility for various performance settings. Beyond drumming, I’m a skilled graphic designer specializing in music marketing. If your band needs standout promotional materials, such as gig flyers and social media graphics, I can help elevate your event’s visibility—whether I’m in the lineup or not.
Thank you,
Brian
I excel at this genre. I have played to click and backing tracks for exciting dance bands that put on exciting shows.
Classic rock makes up the longest genre of my career. This genre comes second nature to me.
I'm a kid of the 80's and 90's and 2000's. I grew up on all the great music of those decades with a strong emphasis on 80's.

Meinl Arched Cajon with Pedal |
The perfect addition to your acoustic gig Yes I can even (Yacht) rock your acoustic gig. The Meinl arched Cajon has just enough thump for the perfect lower undertone and just enough pop to blend in.
