It's become my full time job...I've helped create the "Tropical Theme" for a multitude of "Fortune 500" corporate special events around Marco Island and SW Florida. A hundred beach gigs a year for almost 15 years, and there's always a client at the 1st table front row who asks "Where do I sign up for a job like this?"

Locations: Every major SW Florida luxury resort...including Marco Beach Ocean Resort, Marco Beach Hilton, Naples Grande Resort, Naples Ritz Carlton, Marriott's Marco Island Resort, all the various South Seas Plantation Properties, Sanibel Harbor Resort...etc.

Influences: Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, Harry Belafonte, Beach Boys...as well as Carlos Jobim, Earl Klugh, Ottmar Liebert, Michael Utley, & Jean Luc Ponty.

Trimaran "Bluewater" is refitted and proudly sailing the Gulf...now it's time to sail the new "Bluewater Cruise" CD into open waters as well...

So the band "Caxambas" is born!

These are the guys I've worked with on several projects and many years. Alex Antonelli and John Burgess can catch any of my extemporaneous changes that come about on stage. It's often said "jazz" is when the craziest mistakes come out sounding great...when it's showtime these guys are pro!

"Caxambas" originally refered to the fresh water springs used by early Spanish explorers on Marco Island to stock supplies for further voyages. We drink freely from that fountain and share it in the spontaneity of our music...

To be able for me to play more tropical violin and mandolin, "Caxambas" has invited Michael Oakland, the best samba guitarist singer in SW Florida!

Dynamic! Interactive! Explosive! are some of the superlatives I use to describe our sound...we do everything from "Smooth Bossa" to "Jumping Soca" with a lot of "Reggae Calypso" jammin' in-between!

"Bluewater Cruise" is "Smooth jazz...for a smooth sail!" I hope you enjoy the mp.3 sound downloads available at Blue Water Cruise CD Baby or Blue Water Cruise iTunes

We've also played for the Goodland Boat Parade...crazy nights at the Little Bar...and had wonderful times at the Florida Folk Festival!
