The Punkiest of Cellists

Not only is Ian an amazing cellist, arranger, and performer, but is also a great MC and show organizer. He is so organized, great with communication, and very driven. I've worked with him through the Live Music At Logan program in Boston, and it was nothing but a good experience! I've also seen him perform through that same program and he's a delight to watch! He is able to command an audience whether they are passing by grabbing their suitcases off the baggage carousel or at a wedding with dancing, drinking, and many people to greet.
