Over the last 14+ years, he has played with a variety of bands such as The Sahara Quartet, Indestructible Now, Cazayoux, The Sidepiece Collective, Zoumountchi, The Sahara Allstars, and artists including Robert Plant's piano player/collaborator John Baggott, free-jazz trumpeter Rob Mazurek, Chicago blues stars Little Ed, Smilin' Bobby, and Mary Lane, jam-band godfather Colonel Bruce Hampton, and The Allman Brothers Band's late, great drummer Butch Trucks.
