About Me

Raised from infancy by a sweet family of Penguins in Antarctica (hi, Mom!). Birth parents were lost in the voyage around The Horn (the Panama Canal is for fairies), that ended tragically after running dramatically off course. Became interested in music and art by way of a group of seals from Argentina. They had groove for days....or as they would've said, they 'chopped a mean carrot'. Still don't get the origin or metaphorical value of that one. Moved to Florida (or as we call it back home, The North Country) yesterday. Still getting accustomed to walking upright.Currently working as a sideman/guitar-guy for various artists.Also have a new trio with Tom Hurst (drums) and Trip Wamsley (bass), both of whom are gods in their respective universes. Look for a new record from us in the coming months, plus live dates hopefully near you.
