Hello world! I've just begun my final semester at Bates College and I'm so stoked that I'm finally almost at the end of my undergraduate career! I know I'm not the best at keeping you all posted on my site, but I thought I'd come on here to wish you all a happy new year as well as tell you all what I've been up to since I last posted on here…and oh! I want to announce some big news to you all!
Since I last posted, I've done some pretty sick shows, both private and public. Starting at the middle of August, I played at the Lewiston/Auburn Balloon Festival! My set was short, but the turnout was AMAZING! I loved playing intense pieces while balloons were being launched into the air, and having my friends, family, and professors coming out to see me was the cherry on top. Another gig I wanted to note was a breast cancer benefit concert at the Maine Mall. Several breast cancer survivors and some going through treatment all had a gathering at the mall and I was able to provide some entertainment for them as they browsed through gift bags and chatted amongst themselves. It was a concert for an amazing cause and it left me feeling so fulfilled after getting off the stage.
Now for the big news! First off, I'm putting together a benefit concert with the mayor of Lewiston, Carl Sheline, to raise funds in support of the immigrant community in Maine. After that, I am working on organizing ANOTHER benefit concert, but with proceeds going to support ovarian cancer research. As an aspiring physician, this is something quite close to my heart, so I'm extremely proud to be putting this together alongside with a bill of 4-5 other musicians. Between all of this, I'm still performing at corporate events, weddings, parties, and whatnot, so I'm still doing what I love very frequently on top of balancing a busy semester!
I hope to stay on top of posting on my site blog more often, but as always, I have updated the photo section with new photos from gigs from the past few months! Speak to you all soon!!!
