About Me


These are some songs I have recorded over the years at home, either on 4-tracks or on my computer. There will be a day when I can get my friends to play these with me in a room with 20+ people watching. I also sing & play guitar in the band Embarrassing Fruits .
All of my records are recorded at home and are available for free download. If you would like a hard copy you can GO HERE , or come to a show and buy one. Thanks for listening!
