Filpate
I've been a musician for over 16 years and have jammed with many, many great players all over the southeast. I have also sat in on several occasions with bands like Moonshine Still, Troubadours of Divine Bliss, Uncle John's Band, Ancient Harmony and The Codetalkers! Sit-in's in my bands include members of the Duhks, Afromotive, Middle Rhythm Session, Gerry Williams Band, Swamp Logic, The Freighthoppers, Brother Fatback, and the Wildlife Refugees plus Bobby Lee Rodgers, Larry Keel, Josh Pinkham and many other awesome musicians! I play guitars, mandolins, octave mandolins, banjos, fiddles, hand drums, didgeridoos, basses and jaw harps. I have 5 projects going now including acoustic rock with a splash of mountain funk on guitar with Shane Meade, newgrass on the mandolin with the Pickford Sundries, alternative hip hop/R&B on bass with Bishop Wayne, my own band Friends of Fil which is all original instrumental rock fusion leaning toward the dance. Oh, and always working on my solo act with my loop station and sitting in with jazz bands with my mandolin! I'm into virtuosic music with a lean toward jazz fusion, southern rock, latin jazz, Bluegrass and good old funk, as well as world music including Indian Classical, Celtic, Reggae, French Gypsy or anything that is inventive and full of energy and soul within any genre. I live in Tampa, Florida right now and travel all over the place to play. Good times, good times.
