About Me

"serpentine slide and lap steel"--My Old Kentucky Blog

I work. I love. I play lots of good pretty dirty music in this city presently cold cold cold, and not even a snow cover to soften. [strike that--the blossoms are coming!] I play and compose my own music, as well as accompany others in bands and such, performing and recording whenever the opportunity arises.
Currently I play in varying capacities with the following groups/artists:
*Saint Bernadette
*J DiMenna
*Jennie Lowe and the Fire Choir
*Imani Coppola
*Gabriel Miller-Phillips
*Count Numbers (formerly vibrarmony)
*[please come up with a good rock duet band name and insert here, for I will shortly being doing that as well, once it has been so titled]
