Hammond B3 & Mini Moog with Arlan Oscar Schierbaum
We had the wonder gift of Arlan Oscar Schierbuam’s keyboard talents joining us for Project ELÉCTRICO. There’s some rocking Mini Moog that we couldn’t film because it’s a new beta keyboard that Arlan is testing. Awesome day! Thank you to Randy Troast for hosting our B3 music-making party in Pasadena, CA, and making the tastiest, homemade pizza’s and margarita’s to boot.

Willie Oteri – Austin, TX
Willie Oteri is an anomaly in the music world having survived tragedy and financial hardship that forced him to quit music as a profession in the early part of his career. After nearly ten years away from performing and most of this time not even owning an instrument Oteri came back to music, first part time then full. Older, wiser and as eager and excited as anyone to again have a life of music.
