About Me

hearing and understanding music as a way of setting ambitions to further attempt to see tranquility, the urge to create without the insight of commerce, keen knowledge of my surroundings, discovering new and old art forms at unusual and unpopular environments

I play guitar, bass, and drums, and sometimes attempt to sing and play keyboards

former drummer and current bass player, singer and songwriter for Tape Deck Sonata and every piece of music heard on Vera's Son

Last Best National Live Show: Morrissey

Great local bands to check out: That's My Daughter, Tape Deck Sonata, Bug, Casey Reid, Troubadour Dali, 7 Shot Screamers, Maid Rite, Rats & People, Stella Mora, Bunnygrunt,Flyboats, Museum Mutters, Erin Hagan, Sex Robots, Bad Folk, Vera's Son and Johnny Fox
