You'll find me out doing this most often at spots across New Hampshire. A combination of solo jazz guitar and some fun looped stuff combined with my 8 string guitar. The most eclectic set you've ever heard, currently covering the classics from Gershwin to Stevie to Coltrane, and more modern tunes from the 90s on!
The name which I release music under. It started as my hip hop production name, and I kept it to stand out from the 35,623 other Gary Smiths out there. My album is a melding of many styles and includes over a dozen guests, including 3 rappers, and members of 5 bands that I'm a part of.
A fun Jazz/Fusion trio that covers Freddie Hubbard to the Beatles with dense soundscapes and forays in and out of traditional Jazz. Bob Dwyer on guitar, Ryan King on drums, and me holding down the low end on 8 string guitar.
Maizy Rae of Fox and the Flamingos and my side project with a little more emphasis on jazz standards. On top of that you'll hear us cover Fox and Flamingo songs with a different flare to them as well.
A rock/reggae/jam band that has been active for 20+ years. Grammy-nominated and internationally touring, I recently just joined them as the bassist! Keep an eye out for a lot of exciting news.
A high-energy, female-led funk band with a host of great originals that we've crafted as a group, and covers that tweak the original just enough to keep it interesting. You'll find us playing all across New England and at Strange Creek, Lou's Cambridge, The Range, Press Room and more. With Maizy Rae on vocals, Zach Sweetster on keys and backup vox, Tyler Moran on guitar and backup vox, Ryan Pratt on drums, Derek Adams on bari sax, and me on bass and 8 string guitar.
Cinnamon Blomquist is a talented jazz flutist, who's known for breaking out a bass flute from time to time. Joe Virga is doing crazy stuff on keys, while I hold down the low end with an 8 string guitar or a bass!
CBC is about having a good time and making great music with great people. Musicians and singers rotate in and out based on availability, but Brad DiPalma and Nick Burns hold down the core and write some very unique originals.
A drum-less trio that sees me hold down an 8 String guitar to balance between bass, lead, and everything in between. The venerable Michael Hauptly-Pierce (MHP) holds down the lead vocals, while backing him up and also playing guitar is Mark Vadnais.
A jazz-ish group that plays many styles but is centered in funk. See me with them the first Wednesday of most months at Hermanos in Concord
A traditional jazz combo that you'll usually see performing at more upscale events. From NH's 200 to Kelly Ayotte's Gala, we do it all. Led by Karl Dubay.
