This is from the pandemic archives. When I performed a live concert series for Patagonia's Stories series. The composer Jonny Rodgers invited me to perform his beautiful chamber music to accompany a series of speakers in a theater deep in a CA canyon.
This one "The Hunt" was one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it, too.

I got to work with the incredible photographer Marcia Davis a few evenings ago.
We roamed the Arts District, essentially “bar hopping” and shooting in various bars on Main St who generously allowed us to set up shop and pose with my cello. This was a somewhat impulsive event!
This is the first of the series; shot at Dark Sister my personal favorite bar in downtown Vegas.
Dress was purchased at Savers for $5 an hour before the shoot ❤️
Huge damn thank you to Dark Sister for your generosity and letting a little Bach into your bar!

Can’t wait to share the rest of “Bar Hopping.”

Tuesday night in Vegas.

Okay, I’ll be canceling all further plans until July 2nd when my book club meets to discuss David Foster Wallace’s “The Infinite Jest.” Which is infinitely difficult to read, not just because of its bulk but for its language and many many footnotes, some of which have their own footnotes.
and I decided we could tackle this incredibly daunting work if we just believe. So here we go.
This is part of the “Big Book Club” series hosted by my favorite vegas bookshop
This particular club provides a reason to read those big, overwhelming books you always said you should read, but never made the time for. I figure if I can muster my way through this craziness I can finally finish Ulysses and maybe War & Peace! 🤞🏻 I’m sure my Dad would be happy if I made my way through The Sound and the Fury.

Congratulations to Charlene and Scott on your special day! Was thrilled to perform you and loved the chance to create a custom cello arrangement of Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic!” This was another fab booking!

I ♥️performing weddings! Please consider me to perform for your special day! Head to my website: Cellista.net or gigsalad.com/cellista to hear demos and book me directly.
I can create the perfect soundtrack for your perfect day! My music includes classical, pop, rock, Motown and more! I use a loop station to elegant but cinematic sounds, custom backing tracks, or I can play classically and acoustically, as well!

Aw another wedding. This one in Summerlin.
My bride walked to “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”
Actually all my brides this year have chosen this song for their bridal walk! And that’s fine by me! It sounds great in cello.

I love all the creative clients I have had recently! Tonight I was hired to play for a Renaissance-themed birthday for eight! I got to play classical and Renaissance pieces and live loop some grounds!
The whole house was transformed for the party and I loved the giant dragon and knight in armor. The table setting was 👌All the guests wore Renaissance gowns! super fun way to celebrate a birthday!
