I've been lucky to play an eclectic batch of musical styles, from big band swing to classical opera, acoustic folk to blues to garage rock, and just a little bit of samba. I've played venues such as Chicago's Double Door, D.C.'s 9:30 Club, and somehow the Wisconsin State Capitol Assembly Hall. I wrote my sister's wedding song, which was an appropriate amount of awkward.
