I’ve had the good fortune to end up as part of an amazing trio. After many, many years in the trenches of the professional music world, the creative forces in the Universe have put some things together. Three like-minded musicians make up the core of Imperial Triumphant, and the band is working very hard to carve out its place in the world. These adventures contribute greatly to my own spiritual consciousness, the rising of the self toward that ever-changing journey of learning, laughter, challenges, accomplishment, and the deepest of soul-searching around this planet earth, and so many awesome people I get to meet. Music has brought me here, and I’ve fucking earned it.
Here’s a selection of photos in no particular order, representing the amazing trip we had. Enjoy, and see you at a show!
