About Me

sounds like whoop is just me: another dude with a guitar, a handful of songs, and a Mac.Yes, as a matter of fact, I am looking for gigs and/or a band. I don't know what kind of band. My band? Your band? An Alt-Country-Americana-Roots band? Some undefinable, pseudo-jazz thing? My rule of thumb is, if you'd rather have Bill Frisell playing my part, or you want Joe Henry, Tucker Martine, Lee Townshend, or T Bone Burnett to produce your record, I'm in. Which is not to say I wouldn't consider working with Bill Laswell or Russ Titelman or Nick Lowe or...The songs I post here aren't necessarily what I want to play in a band. They're just what has been on my mind when I've found myself with time to press record. Check the blog for stories, if there are stories to be had. Let me know what you think...Thanks.P.S.

Holy Crap!

13 and a half years since my last gig, and I find myself with two (albeit short and sweet) gigs in March. I am ever-so-slightly terrified, but pretty damn excited, too...Sunday, March 7, at The High D...

A little help from my friends...

Having just returned from a work-related week in Los Angeles, I find myself overwhelmingly dissatisfied. Granted, I haven't spent much time considering things, but at the moment I keep thinking either...

Just Cant Get Enough Just Like Heaven

Somehow a Depeche Mode reference for a blog about a Cure cover seems appropriate. In fact, I'm going to use another one in a moment...And yes, I Just Can't Sleep, either... Sheesh... blogging at 2:44 ...

Ad-dendum

Well, I've begun to despair of finding a band via someone else's ad, so I've decided to post my own. First, I thought I'd float it here, not that many folks read this thing, but just in case...Guitari...
