Alan Paul and Travis Howard gigs
January 28, 2011
I have a gig with Platinum selling songwriter Travis Howard at the Mint Friday the 28th at 8pm. On Saturday I am playing with Alan Paul of The Manhattan Transfer at Vitello’s Restaurant in Studio City on Saturday the 29th at 8 and 10pm. Both of these shows will be musical treats, Travis has new material and some of the hits he has written for Miranda Lambert. Alan Paul is covering the whole spectrum of the Jazz genre with an all star band.

Played a wonderful gig with Michael Orland (American idol) and Ted Perlman (Multi Grammy winner) last night. Lauren White filled the club with people and beautiful sounds. What a pleasure to make music with such talented people, looking forward to more.
