SHAKE YOUR PEACE! is my own musical and storytelling act which doubles as an outlet for my environmental and social justice activism. Exploring the question: “how would a rock band tour in ecotopia?” we've toured extensively by bicycle and on foot (3 walking tours, and 6 bike tours, and counting), carrying all of our musical equipment with human power.

We've performed in venues ranging from thousand-person capacity rock clubs in San Francisco, to red rock outcroppings in Southern Utah - far from a power outlet, to school sustainability assemblies like this one at Head Royce in Oakland, CA:

After a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2018 I completed an album entitled “Whup Music” that features a new hybrid style of music called “whup” which I developed over the previous decade.
