About Me

Since I haven't updated in a while, here's the recent news:
FIERCE ATMOSPHERES has completed the new 2 song demo, and is currently sending it out for reviews, as well as perhaps some offers. The 2 songs that I recorded vocal tracks for were "Amongst the Shadows" and "Glass Terrain", both written before I joined Goss(Eric Gosslin) on his Progressive Metal Quest. Dan Banker(Ex-Fled Five) also recorded guitar tracks. Now that the proverbial "ice" has been broken, we're working on new songs that we hope to have recorded this winter, so that we might have the chance to hit the road in Europe in '09.
Some more news:
My first solo Country Album is completed, and just about to go into production. It's an old-school effort in the vein of Waylon, Willie, and of course Cash. It will be the flagship for the Sublux label. If this goes well, there could be much more music, of all different sorts, to be produced in the future.
I started out singing in a Heavy Metal band many years ago. Since then, I've worked in several different genres, and with several different projects(too many to mention at the time). In the winter of 2005, I returned to the Heavy Metal scene by recording the LP "Haunted Mind" with local favorite, DAMIEN THORNE. In July of that year, we took a trip across the pond to co-headline the H.O.A festival in Hamburg, Germany. It was a good experience, but we parted ways not so long after our return to the Windy City.
In the summer of '06, Rob Wilhelm(Iron Cross), Scott Davidson(Stonehenge, Rebel Radio),and myself put together a Judas Priest tribute by the name of JUDAS RISING. We don't have as much time as we'd like for gigs right now, since there's so much on our individual plates.
There's a few more things on the horizon, but I wouldn't want to put the cart before the horse---- so to speak.........

What can I say: Read anything you can by this wonderful, imaginative, freethinking humorist. The work of Kurt Vonnegut shall live on, always.
