About Me

I am a guitar player/singer from Austin who has been playing music for pretty much all of my life. I was raised in a very musical family and it has definitely rubbed off on me as music is a corner stone of my life. I have been in several bands over the years, most notably Ugly Tribe, ALWAYS the FALL, and most recently, Litany for the Departed . Litany is no more but several of my Litany band mates and I are starting a new project now called Residue . Be sure to check out our Myspace page as updates with be coming about what is going on with us!
