I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Hi, My name is Michael. A friend once told me, "You are a walking dichotomy." I am a buddhist minded misanthrope. I am a throw back to the "Old School"(lack of a better term). I wear dickies button-ups, jeans and docs. I also like wearing suits because frankly, I clean up well. I drink whiskey and beer. I am a musician and teacher. I play for Vatic. Looking for creative, interesting persons. Oh, and I have a big, I mean gigantic orange cat named Bubba that sits on command. If you'd like to know anything else, don't be afraid to ask.
Evolved Studios is a specialty studio providing the best guitar, drum and bass lessons in West Chester. They also do a good bit of recording for local bands, movie soundtracking, etc. Evolved Studios is also starting a music production company called Science of Silence, though it's really just putting a name to music they have been creating for years. Anyone needing lessons, recording or players looking for session work should call 610-696-5687 or checkout www.evolvedstudios.com Thanks.
