I LOVE PROG!

Here’s a clip of our arrangement of King Crimson’s “21st Century Schizoid Man”, taken from our King Crimson Medley.

I have to admit, out of all of the Prog Rock “pillar” groups, Crimson is the one I am least familiar with. That said, I absolutely love playing this medley, and I’m looking forward to diving deeper.

Our next @thosemedleykids gig is late January/early February 2026… If you were in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, come check us out !

Happy 100th Anniversary, GEWA Music 🙏🏼🥁🧡

Thank you for everything you’ve given me in the 15 years that we’ve worked together—as an artist, and as a member of the GEWA USA team. I am grateful for the support and trust, and for the friendships made along the way.

Here’s to the next 100 years!

Bringing out the big guns for August😎

Whether you’re pursuing Broadway, touring, recording, or freelancing, the summer masterclasses are for you. This entire idea was built around my own experience in school. It was classes just like these that opened the door for Blue Man Group and I’m very excited to have one of those very people joining us for the classes this month!💙 (@ananiamusic_official )

I hope this experience gives you practical, accessible insights from artists who I look up to and who have accomplished some pretty crazy things. I feel really lucky to know these folks! Come hang with us💪🏻

Y’all..this is @mightymaxweinberg and @ndvirgilio ….what am incredible short and absolute quality hang with this cat, who has been Thw Boss’ engine room forever, and also led the Conan O’Brien band, AND has persevered through multiple setbacks due to being part of the fabric of one of the most heralded concert experiences of all time (yes, Bruce Springsteen).

I’ve never valued an uber expense more than tonight.

Here’s a Sunday DrumDay One Take Wonder if one my favorite songs of all time—“Talking to Myself” by Don Grolnick, written for the great Michael Brecker, featured on his album “Don’t Try This At Home.
.
This piece soars, and brings me to tears every time I hear the opening chords.
.
We cover this tune in the wonderful trio @wirbaeckmusic …come check us out on July 11th at @thehigh_hat !! Tix are available in the WirBäck bio ☀️
.
I hope you enjoy it, and as always: thank you so much for your support!! 🙏🏼🥁

I done did another thing.

Here’s my shot at the “Apocalypse in 9/8” from Genesis’ epic masterpiece, “Supper’s Ready”.

I’m playing along to the “Seconds Out” version so Phil Collins and Chester Thompson are mixed in as well—prog AF.

First take, not edits, 100% authentic.

God, I love music.

Have a great rest of your Sunday everyone 🥁🙏🏼💙

Here’s another snippet (and you’ll see how accurate that word really is) from the depths of my basement stude.
.
In prep for the upcoming @thosemedleykids show at @croonersmn on June 25th, I whipped up another playalong (still dealing with a healing finger so it’s an other 1-take).
.
Here’s the middle part of another Genesis fave: “Firth of Fifth”.
.
I hope you enjoy the rough mix, and if you’re in MPLS next week, please come join us!
