I performed with my good friend Austin Willacy for 5 years in the
House Jacks. He's got his solo-artist thing goin' on, and I'm his drummer (with my
mouth, of course) and backup singer.
Austin's music can be described as "Lenny Kravitz meets Dave Matthews." He's unafraid to combine rock, funk, R&B, folk, tango, and blues, infusing the whole package with thick, complex lyrics and soulful vocals.
Besides Austin and me, the band includes Turkish wunderkind Kenan Malak on guitar, the fearsome Spencer Murray (of
Kofy Brown) on bass, and the mysterious Samantha Black on cello. Check out a show, it slams.
