About Me


www.PGriffinBaron.com I live in Chicago. I'm a studio/touring guitarist and bassist for hire doing sessions for commercials, recording projects and tours. I'm currently playing bass for Alison Breitman and Cracklin Moth . I work for an online music retailer as well. I once helped a lady deliver a baby in a Starbucks bathroom. You may have heard about it. It was on CNN and The Today Show. My cat is probably cooler than you.

My Interests

performing and writing music, cute girls, electronic gear with blinking lights, drinking, (in that order)...

A tour bus and tour support.

STAPLES: David FUCKING Bowie, U2, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Pumpkins, Cupcakes, Bjork, Soul Coughing, Massive Attack, Portishead.
