Tim’s Tavern hosts an afternoon of original music shaped by memory, language, and transformation. I’ll be performing with a trio featuring piano and vocals, drums by Arunachala Satgunasingam, and sax by Micheal Reznick.

The set includes forty five minutes of original songs written during my years in Italy with my former band Gamas Rebeldes. Sung in Italian, these pieces were originally born from a mix of Irish folk, progressive rock, heavier influences, and Sardinian folk traditions. For this performance, the songs have been rearranged into a more open and conversational trio format, allowing space for nuance, dynamics, and listening.

Because the lyrics are in Italian, the music will be accompanied by short moments of storytelling. Each song will be placed in context, revealing its themes, origins, and emotional landscape. The result is an experience that moves between sound and meaning, offering the audience a way into the music beyond words.
