I have been working with The Family Crest since March of this year and I did a national tour with them during the summer with Family and Friends from Athens, Georgia and Trevor Sensor from Sterling, Illinois. I was filling in for their drummer Charlie Giesige who had just left the band. When we got back to the SF Bay Area, I did a string of one off dates with them at the Google campus in Mountain View, Apple, and the Ottawa City Folk Festival up in Canada – opening for Jack Johnson and Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. Then this past weekend I got to be a part of the new music video that they are filming for their upcoming album release entitled “The War”.
Here are some photos/videos from Ottawa City Folk Festival

But having done all of this as a freelancer/honorary member of the band – or an “extended family” member – they recently asked me to join the band. So now I am an official member of The Family Crest! I am looking forward to building and growing with them artistically and musically. This band is a pleasure to play with, travel with, and work with. They all work exceedingly hard and are all world class musicians. Keep an eye for new stuff related to this group and look for them on the various social media platforms!
