“Do tubas only play slow stuff?” — an actual DM I got this week 😂

To prove we play fast sometimes, here’s the end of Soledad by Efraín Oscher, stolen by @pachofloresofficial 🌶 #holdmybeer

Great tour this past week working with terrific students at @colburnschool, @cubouldermusic, and @arizonastateuniversity and hanging out with some wonderful @nwsymphony alumni and dear friends. Successfully dodged half the nation’s flight delays in the process, a major achievement having taken 4 flights in 5 days ✈️

Huge thanks to @mdunn48484, @tindalltuba, and @deannaswoboda for opening their doors to me — and to @umkccons and @miraphonegermany for their continued support of my tubaventures 🙏🏻

Enjoy this snippet from recent a performance of Contrapunctus IX with my @santafeopera brass colleagues at the @sanmiguelchambermusic series — feat. @leathersboy and @dashtrpt on trumpet, @gregflint_horn on horn, and @jtobias1224 on trombone.

ps - for my birthday (today!), like and subscribe (lol had to) me on YT for more stuff like this (link in bio) 😎

Bozza’s Aria. With sincere (but not really) apologies to saxophonists everywhere — possibly the most French sounding piece ever written 🇫🇷🎷

Gina Gillie’s Song for the Lost is a lovely work that i’ve enjoyed playing a lot this year — lyrical, raw, and quietly powerful.

Full video now on YouTube (give me a follow if you haven’t yet 🙏) – link in bio.

Many of you know we tragically and suddenly lost our puppy Olive earlier this year. Grief doesn’t disappear—but love can still grow around it. In a serendipitous twist, we’ve welcomed a new little soul into our lives…and her name is Ivy. We’re so glad she’s here. 🐶💙

Just released: “Embers” — an exciting new work I commissioned this year for tuba and piano by @galaflagello. It moves through a non-linear journey of grief through reflection, tension, and calm — a unique and sizzling addition to the rep. 🔥🎶

@thaitec2025 = such a fun and energizing week.
Loved making music, meeting Thai musicians, collaborating with other international guest artists, and being part of such a warm and welcoming community.

ขอบคุณครับ to everyone who made it so special, especially @teeboonyarit (organizer extraordinaire), @prapat_tua (host and all around amazing guy) and @weal_tws (assistant extraordinaire) — and of course to @miraphone_germany, @umkccons and @canada.council for their continued support of my tuba escapades. แล้วเจอกันนะครับ!

Had some folks say they liked the last video on vagus nerve activation, so here’s another tool I use to go from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest”.

This is a quick and simple grounding check-in for musicians (or anyone, really) to feel more present in your body and less stuck in your head.

Do you have a go-to grounding practice?
Or want me to share more of these?

✌🏻

Thanks to @miraphone_germany for making tubas that are really fun to play. The Petrushka 1281 was one of the first F tubas I ever played and I can’t see myself playing any other horn.

Aside from the musical whiplash of performing the John Williams concerto last night and Fnugg Blue this morning, I’m looking forward to some beatbox didgeridoo jazz shenanigans with @joeparisi531 and the UMKC Wind Ensemble tomorrow night ✨
