Collaboration with Jeff Herriott

"Bell Monks is music for the fog on nights that stretch into dawns, combining simple humming lines with swirling textures."

Longstanding project with composer and UWW music professor Jeff Herriott. Albums are co-composed and co-engineered. Performance duties are usually split with me on guitars, bass, and drums/percussion and Jeff on keyboards, vocals, and processing.

Additional collaborators include:

• Gregory Taylor – remixes, notably on the shared LP Brocades + Palimpsests

• Heidi E. Johnson – vocals

• Ben Willis – contrabass

• Trevor Saint – glockenspiel

and others.

The Organgrinders have performed in states throughout the midwest, south, and west coast. We have been fortunate to play multiple times at several festivals, notably the Juke Joint Festival (Clarksdale, MS), Marquette Area Blues Fest (Marquette, MI), and Waukesha Rotary BluesFest (Waukesha, WI).
