Live Music

I have been a freelance trumpet player in NYC since 1996. I am horrible at posting gig announcements, and I never send out mass gig emails, so I created this direct scrape from my gig calendar. Hopefully someday I’ll forget that it’s shared with this website and I’ll write some embarrassing notes on the gig. First one to call me out gets a free guestlist spot at a gig of their choice!
