In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. As a kid, I used to sing in the Phoenix Boys Choir, and one time, at an outdoor concert with an orchestra, I saw a snare drum player play a roll for the national anthem. I couldn't figure out how he did that—and I was hooked on percussion thereafter! What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Performing for over 100,000 people on the main stage at the Montreal Jazz Festival with our Esquivel Megaband was incredible—especially since they put up with my pandeiro (Brazilian tambourine) solo! -Brian Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Touring to all 50 US states, and then conquering the rest of the world ;-)
