Growing up near Chicago, I was lucky enough to hear and play music with some great Blues musicians. This music has always inspired me and many Blues legends have recorded and been based in Chicago. Here are a few tunes I love to play.

Ready to Fly by Scott Hildebrand MV In the beginning, Scott Hildebrand and I didn't know each other. I first saw his videos on Facebook, and got inspiration from him. I knew he lived in South Korea and really wanted to see him.

Scott Hildebrand and I got a lovely tour of Jinju's JungAng Market (중앙시장) from the film crews at Offstage Live - 오프스테이지 라이브, Discover Jinju 디스커버 진주, & Humans of Jinju.
This video is from my recent visit to Varanasi, India, the oldest and probably most mystified city in the world. Whenever I hear Indian classical music, Tabla and Sitar, I am instantly transported to another world. I am endlessly grateful for the opportunity to play music with Sandip Rao Kewale (Tabla) and Shyam Rastogi (Sitar)!
Here is a collaboration I did with Sine, who is absolutely amazing at playing this traditional Korean instrument called a Piri! This was from late June in Korea at the 당당당 festival which took place in a small rural mountain town inside of an old coal mine, with a sad history.
