Surely this summer, like the ones before, will include awesome travel plans. (I never say no to an opportunity to travel abroad, especially with a concert or show involved.) But this summer will be alittle different because I will be on the road with WAITIKI. Now that “things” have changed in the band, Randy envisions a specific kind of sound and is now using me more than before, which I am happy about. Now that June is just around the corner, I’m excited about our trip to Berlin as we will be performing in the Water Festival. More information can be found here and there.

In August, I will be performing on keyboards with WAITIKI in Robert Drasin’s Voodoo band at the Tiki Oasis Festival (San Diego, CA). The last time I performed in Drasnin’s band was in Hukilau 2007, where we played a bunch of stuff from his Voodoo II album. It’s pretty mellow stuff with some catchy melodies and harmonies. My favorite is Puente Doble. I’m just simply attracted to those Latin grooves.
