Regional Artist Showcase Exhibition Flyer

Drum for Change is winding out October with fantastic events in corporate team-building, charitable causes, and educational programming!  I'm connecting throughout the region to bring rhythm-based programming across the spectrum.  Details below!

This weekend I'll be rejoining my pal Scott Swimmer to bring drumSTRONG to TEDx Charlotte!  We'll be bringing the message to beat cancer at Queens University.  Joining us is pal Dave Holland of Beatin Path Rhythm Events in Atlanta and together we'll be rocking it for the local-version of these famed Technology, Education, and Design conferences.

Of course third Monday's mark the Lake Johnson Jam with Raleigh Parks & Recreation and the Raleigh Drum Circle that I founded (nine years ago last month!!!) with great support from a wonderful community of drummers here in the Triangle.
