I book a variety of acts.
I play drums with and run West Preston’s Best Dance band Gusto Gusto (instrumental dance music).We released our debut EP in November 2022 with a sold-out East Coast tour and shows at Woodford Folk Festival. Our new EP comes out in October 2023 and we’re playing dates around the country to support it, including Peak Festival (Perisher), Questival (Medieval Castle Festival in Ballarat) and Winter Magic Festival (Katoomba).
I work with Mr Alford (country/bluegrass). I’ve booked his national tours over the last couple of years.
I sometimes play drums and book gigs for T.K. Reeve (blues). I organised his 2018 EP Tour (Marysville Jazz and Blues Festival, Echuca Winter Blues Festival, Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival).
