10 years ago, I first shared the stage with this young man. Since then, He's been back twice... and he's never failed to astound me.
He's now so big, we can no longer afford to book him, unless some deep-pocketed benefactor decides to foot the bill. Thankfully, he's been a regular for us, because: 1. He loves that we were one of the first to give him his shot 2. We still have deep-pocketed benefactors who can still induce him to keep coming back.
Augie loves us. And we love him.

This kid plays the violin's High Art Repertoire like Simone Biles plays gymnastics at the Olympics. He's on another level.
You can see him here, playing his own version of the 'Orange Blossom Special' as an encore, after torching down a solo performance with the New York Philharmonic.
