He&#39;s currently touring with Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters.

The Greyboy Allstars&#39; success served as a platform for the band&#39;s individual members to launch highly successful and substantially diverse solo careers. To flex his desire to compose in a way that was just outside of Greyboy&#39;s wheelhouse, Walter formed 20th Congress and recorded and toured heavily.

The band featured a rotating cast of players over the years including <a href="spotify:artist:7bOHiKCHJ7mPMrSIiLMOIj" data-name="Stanton Moore">Stanton Moore</a>, Joe Russo, <a href="spotify:artist:0SZTSny7KuJ3mNIqCyveJr" data-name="Will Bernard">Will Bernard</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2vEO9V8WSyC3c9dBno1YlU" data-name="Cochemea Gastelum">Cochemea Gastelum</a>. The current iteration of 20th Congress includes a new crew of brilliant improvisers and genre-bending virtuosos including drummer Simon Lott, bassist Victor Little, and guitarist Chris Alford, bringing a baked-in chemistry that has mutated into the infectious sound of this incarnation of the 20th Congress.

A brilliant improviser with a gift for riveting hooks and unstoppable grooves, Walter blurs the lines between the composed and the spontaneous. He uses a full arsenal of keyboards, synths and electronics and draws together the varied aspects of his career, from his film soundtrack work with <a href="spotify:artist:1NoO2YS2dXlhILVGZ7AJCQ" data-name="Mike Andrews">Mike Andrews</a> to his free-ranging improvisational excursions with the likes of genre jugglers like <a href="spotify:artist:1DB8cszlTpqBsDdVWB349w" data-name="Marco Benevento">Marco Benevento</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:00uSjAOZMB626Y0W2ij3Md" data-name="Skerik">Skerik</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2Onb70uN9rRM3VMerSpA37" data-name="Mike Gordon">Mike Gordon</a>
