About Me

I am a singer/guitarist for the band Turn Of The Century from South Chicago, Illinois. I've been playing guitar since I was twelve years old. I've studied as many genres as I can to fulfill my deep Musical Curiosity, (Blues, Jazz, Rock, Folk, Classical, Olden, Modern, Timeless...) I've termed our sound "Psychedelic Dance Rock", but Deep, Modern, South Chicago Blues runs through it all, no matter tempo or instrumentation. I am passionate about the work I do, and likewise connect with passionate people. Also, bookworms. Any suggestions?... A great book can change a life. So can a great piece of music, or a great piece of art, or a great movie. No?... I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
