About Me

I am a musician from Bellingham, Washington. I play some sort of rock n roll music. I haven't found the right band members yet, so I usually play solo. This often causes people to assume my music should be called "acoustic", or "singer/songwriter". Well, I suppose the latter is somewhat appropriate, but it is not by any means acoustic music or "acoustic rock". It's just rock n roll. I just released my second EP, "Drinkin on the Job." It's demo quality, but full of good tunes I hope you'll enjoy. Head on over to my website for a more in-depth bio, and if you're interested in purchasing a copy of my EP, send me a message or e-mail. Cheers!

Sounds Like: Fuckin awesome is what it sounds like!

No, really, I am always stumped when people ask me to describe my music. And I kind of don't want to try. I can say that it's not "acoustic rock" or "acoustic" anything. The fact that it's generally all played solo and on acoustic guitar is just by matter of happenstance. It's all meant to have lots more instrumentation. Just haven't found the people to add that aspect yet. So for now it's just me and a guitar.
I just call it rock 'n' roll.
Type of Label: Major
