Musician, magician's assistant, dancing gorilla, stripper. Been there, done that, took off the t-shirt! I've always loved performing, and I've been lucky enough to make somewhat of a living at it for a number of years.
For years I fronted the (I hate this phrase) Celtic rock band (ugh, I said it) Hiring Fair. Based in Boston, we were an eclectic group with a phenomenal turnover rate! The best line-ups were the ones when everyone had fun and nobody had an agenda. That's a hard thing to come by in a band! We managed to pull it off for about 17 minutes total.
Hiring Fair played 2.3 gazillion pubs and festivals. We were fortunate enough to get away with doing a lot of original material. Actually, we just did it. Usually people got into it. Sometimes we tanked. (Honesty in a bio? What the f*ck am I thinking?)
Seriously though, being in a band is great, but it's a lot freaking harder than most people think. That's why in 2002 I retired after 8 years of touring. But now I'm back with "Mud Angel", a project that I sum up as "Turf, Wind & Fire". Rock and Roll, with trad stuff, horns, and just maybe a gold lame jacket or two, LOL!
And of course, if he's willing.... a duet with LK....
Okay, that's about it for this bio stuff. Eventually I'll do up a real one, but for now I'll stick with the informal approach. Oh, and if you're wondering....I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
