Do you play in a band or currently perform?
As a professional music therapist, I perform for and with dozens of clients every week. I’ve been involved in several local theater productions, including musical direction of Jesus Christ Superstar and playing the lead role of Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha. I’ve performed with a number of local bands over the years, most notably Rumble, an all-original percussion-based ensemble from the mystical kingdom of Waynedale.
