Today is the day! We're officially kicking off our GoFund me Campaign. My dear friend, the extremely talented Andrés Prado will be recording his new album this coming July 3rd, for which I will be flying to Lima, Peru to join the amazing band! Featuring Hugo Alcazar- Drums and Percussion, Mario Cuba- Upright and Electric Basses, Andres Prado- Guitar and Compositions, and myself on Tenor and Soprano Saxophones.

As there are considerable costs involved, we've started a GoFund Me Campaign to launch us off towards our goal! Click the link below to see how you can help to be a part of this amazing project!
