Hi, I’m a bass player,

lifelong musician, and one of the proud members of Johnny Drama and His Funky Entourage.

Over the years, I’ve had the incredible privilege of performing alongside some true legends of rock, including Barry Goudreau and Sib Hashian of the multi-platinum band Boston, Danny Seraphine of Chicago, Mike Stone of Queensrÿche but one of the most unforgettable chapters of my musical journey began when I met Johnny “Drama” Alves. Johnny’s big heart and bigger personality helped inspire the hit HBO series Entourage, and the A&E series Wahlburgers.

Becoming the bassist for Johnny Drama and His Funky Entourage wasn’t just another gig—it was a adventure. Rehearsals felt like mini concerts, filled with funk, laughter, and that signature Drama energy that could light up any room. We weren’t just a band—we were a family, bonded by music and good times.

This website was created to celebrate that spirit and to give fans, friends, and funk-lovers a front-row seat to the fun. It’s also part of a bigger mission.

As the founder of PartyBands.com, “Where bands are discovered, through the artists they cover.” I’ve made it my goal to champion live performers and help connect amazing bands with the event planners who need them for weddings, corporate events, parties, clubs, festivals, you name it.
