Born: Fort Belvoir, Virginia

Musical Experience: Started banging on every irritating thing he could find in the house. Finally, after months of torture, Mom and Pops got him his first actual drum set. He joined his first soul band at the age of twelve. After gaining experience in every kind of music ranging from experimental jazz to country and western, B-9 finally wound up in Austin at the recycling plant crushing cans with a paper plate. We found him under the I-35 bridge banging on milk jugs. The beat was so righteous we hired him on the spot.

Favorite Album: Pink Floyd, Animals, because snorting pigs can be truly inspirational when you back it up with the right instruments.

Greatest Musical Moment: When I joined Funky Old Soul. From the first note of the first rehearsal, I knew we had something special.

Reason To Come to A Funky Old Soul Gig: How long has it been since you had a heaping of Funky Old Soul brand chili. Well, that's too long!
