Mission Accomplished
In December 2013, teacher and sound designerGabriel Walkerresolved to get back into music, with the goal of forming a band and performing a showcaseby the end of 2014.
December Update:
Whew! Did it! New Year’s resolution resolved. I had no idea how I’d get to Louisville, find work, a place to live, a band, a rehearsal space, and a performance venue…but persistence, serendipity, and the support of a lot of good people brought about results that exceeded my expectations and hopes. I started with the idea of playing old jazz standards, but ended up collaborating with Jenrose Fitzgeraldon new music inspired by old standards. The bandwas very well received (tremendous audience feedback) and we had a blast.
Recorded December 20, 2014 at OPEN Galleryin Louisville, Kentucky
Thank you Jenrose, Ben, Gregg, David, Mark, Steph, Erin, and Ryan. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Kurt Andersen and Jenny Lawton. Feels good to be playing and writing music again. You made it possible. More music from Jenrose and me soon… Now, what the devil do we call this band?
