In loving memory · The groove goes onSide B · Forever on the record
Drummer · brother · keeper of the groove
Mousey didn’t simply keep time—he made time feel good. His smooth, flowing pocket carried James Brown’s Soul Generals around the world and powered stages with Wilson Pickett, Peaches & Herb, and generations of soul greats.
From Woodstock ’99 and Live 8 to the most intimate American Vinyl nights, Mousey played with grace, generosity, and pure joy. He was a mentor away from the stage and the heartbeat of this family on it. Every show from here carries him with us.
The road ahead
Come for the songs. Stay for the stories, the left turns, and the kind of encore that only happens when old friends share a stage.
