Blues Guitar with John V.

I am a drummer, composer, bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, and educator based in Philadelphia. I am a graduate of the University of the Arts with a bachelor's degree in jazz instrumental performance. I have performed and recorded with various artists at different venues throughout Philadelphia and New York. I have experience playing a variety of musical styles: Jazz, Funk, Rock, Pop, Country, Musical Theater, Blues, etc. I have played notable music festivals and prominent music venues such as 2017 Monterey Jazz Festival, Pleasantville Music Festival, Brooklyn Bowl, The 55 Bar, World Cafe Live, The Iridium, and several others. In closing of 2019, three songs that I recorded drums on with NY based artists, Mosa and Andrew Weiss & Friends, were featured on Billboard, American Songwriter, and Glide Magazine. In addition, I have my own project, called “Wack Cheddar” which is a Philadelphia based jazz-funk-rock band. We released our first EP in July 2019 called “Who Cut The Cheese?”.
