These days I'm doing most of my performing with the Rhythm Kings, either as the Acoustic Duo or with the full band. The Acoustic Duo consists of myself on acoustic guitar and vocals, and Philip Gardner on acoustic bass guitar and vocals. The full band expands and contracts as needed, but the core members are Philip, myself, Brian Connolly on keyboards and vocals, and Chris "Hadj" Hadjoupoulos on drums.
