This year began with a springtime run of shows with Chloë Agnew and the Atlanta Pops Orchestra in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, and Georgia. The Atlanta Pops also had the unique opportunity to perform at the 2017 Rotary International convention this summer, as Atlanta hosted members from throughout the world at the Georgia World Congress Center to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Rotary Foundation. I also played drums with Michelle Shocked for two shows in Atlanta and Nashville, marimba with Alex Gordon at the Atlanta Jazz Festival Neighborhood Jazz Series, drums with The Sundogs, Fire & The Knife, and assorted percussion instruments for Glank’s debut performances at Atlanta’s annual multi-media popular culture convention Dragon Con.
