Band Members: Myself, and the occasional friend to sit in on some jams.
Influences: I would say my single biggest influence to pick up the guitar was not having any women or being able to partake in ANY partying in Valley Forge Military School. This basically forced my buddy, Matt Risden, and I to start doing SOMETHING other than shinning shoes, polishing our cap shields, marching tours, keeping up with drill team, and playing freakin Lacrosse. We both taught eachother how to play guitar in the stairwells of our barracks to pass the time (much to the dismay of our fellow cadets those days), and the rest is history. I have now been playing and writing music for 11 years. Also the obvious contributers to making music my passion over the years: Jack Johnson; Counting Crows; G Love; Donovan Frankenreiter; Matchbox 20; DMB; Led Zep; Allman Bros; Grateful Dead; John Mayer; David Gray; Bob Schneider; Ben Harper; Alexi Murdoch, Amos Lee, Beck, Ben Kweller, Bob Dylan, Citizen Cope, Eric Clapton, Fink, Foo Fighters, John Lennon, Modest Mouse, My Morning Jacket, Nada Surf, Val Emmich, Paolo Nutini, Pat McGee Band, Rock Kills Kid, The Roots, Tribe Called Quest, Simon and Garfunkel, Xavier Rudd, Brett Dennen, Van Morrison- countless others, and I really admire Jason Mraz’s flow of the lyrics.
