Hello! I am a freelance bassist and private teacher in the Baltimore/Washington DC area, based in Frederick, MD. I am skilled in all styles of music, but my favorite genres are funk, jazz, fusion, and classical.  I am also a guitarist, drummer, composer and conductor.
I have been teaching since 2006, and I love it just as much as performing. I have had multiple students go on to study music at college, including the Berklee School of Music, University of Maryland School of Music, and Shenandoah Conservatory.  I have also had many bass students play in Frederick's all-county and all-state orchestras and jazz bands.
I have a B.A. in Music History from Hood College. I studied guitar, electric bass, and drums with Matt Thompson at Duet With Music throughout my childhood, and fell in love with the double bass in high school. I have studied bass with Lynn Fleming, Jeffrey Weisner, and Laura Ruas. I am currently pursuing a Master's in bass performance at Manhattan School of Music with Jeremy McCoy. 
If you are interested in contacting me for lessons, gigs, or session work, please email me at dlester6@gmail.com.  Thanks!

In my sets you can regularly find genres ranging from Nudisco, Funk/Breaks, House and related electronic genres, depending on the mood, occasion and offcourse the crowd.

Hi, I’m Nina – a Manchester-based singer/songwriter with over 20 years of performing experience. You can hear some of my own songs and covers here on SoundCloud, from London open mics to weddings and local gigs.

Now I’m stepping into something new with my solo project Nightshade – think cabaret, burlesque, and big band-inspired backing tracks, all delivered with energy and flair. It’s me, a mic, and a show that loves connecting with the audience.

Sebastián "Zöell" Farrugia nace en 1976 en Buenos Aires, Argentina, sin embargo, a la edad de tres años, su familia decide mudarse a México, radicándose en la ciudad fronteriza de Tijuana.

Proveniente de una familia de músicos, su interés por la batería nace desde muy temprana edad, viendo tocar a su padre, quien también fuera uno de sus mas grandes maestros: el legendario baterista uruguayo Gonzalo Farrugia (Psiglo, Níquel, Porsuigieco y Crucis).

Teniendo apenas 15 años de edad comienza su carrera como baterista profesional en la ciudad de Tijuana, siendo contratado por diversos grupos de la región, explorando numerosos géneros como el rock, punk, pop, funk y jazz.

Zöell ha girado como baterista por todo México, Estados Unidos, Colombia y Uruguay, tocando con artistas como: Jorge Villamizar (Bacilos), Janette Chao, Ambiente, Nortec Panóptica Orchestra ,Los Daniels,MOTEL ,Glasmus Y Chikita Violenta.

"An explosion of funk, rock and soul" - Pulse FM

Captain Who?

Captain Groove began accidentally. To begin with it was a jam. Five jazz students who had had enough of playing standards, started to groove on just one long satisfying chord. Someone began to sing and with a nod everyone went with it. The spontaneous and organic vibe that the band had created was unexpected and ground breaking. The success they have enjoyed with their following in the first two years as a grooving unit has been amazing. 

This is a band that has never happened before, combining elements of jazz fusion, funk and disco all tied together with rock. The band lugs a around a Hammond organ and Leslie speaker to achieve a vintage sound.Captain Groove's sound borderlines the 60s and 70s with a new and youthful vibe.

 With moments of Queen, this 5-piece band breaks down into just as many part harmonies. Having all studied jazz music and improvisation (VCA, Monash and NMIT) their style is sophisticated but danceable. Their odd time signatures and less-than-traditional structures are still very friendly. Influences range from The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen and Muse to Jeff Beck, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Bryan Scary and Yellowjackets. If you haven't heard of some of these bands, that's kind of the point. Don't worry, you will like this band.

Today Captain Groove continue to write and perform their new age rock grooves to new and approving fans in Brunswick and beyond, and is rapidly growing into a recognisable act with talent around the town. Currently recording their debut album, featuring Hammond organ, saxophone and Queen-like harmonies, this is rock music you could show to your parents. 

Captain Groove have managed to keep their crowds dancing AND listening. If you are into rock, fusion, funk, disco or porn  you will love this band.
