Brass Tax had our own stage at BOC this year, tucked away from the fray up in a corner, and we couldn't have been happier with seeing all the beautiful (masked) faces who came by to say hello! In addition to being my first public appearance since NYD 2020, this is one of my favorite sets I've ever played, full of funky, soulful house, midtempo breaks, and groovy rolling basslines. We didn't get a recording at the festival, so I decided to recreate it live from Bowerbird. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

This year, I was invited to be a part of the "Whistler Summer Concert Series".  It is free, family-friendly music in the Village, by talented Canadian musical acts.  Last weekend, I had the pleasure of warming up the stage before Astrocolor, an energetic live band from the Victoria BC area. They were awesome!
