About Me

Just me so far in this band, looking for others...I play bass, guitar and a smattering of keyboards. I sing and write my own songs. I have one album out called Head Games, it's sold out. More coming! New album in the workds called 'The Wrong Side of Right'. I studied at the Savannah College of Art and Design and earned a BFA in Sequential Art. I also studied at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts and earned a degree in Popular Music and Sound Technology. I chilled with Sir Paul, talked life with Tom Baker, ran away from Elvis Costello and played the Cavern Club.About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
