About Me

Me? I'm just another kid trying to get by in a world full of clones. I'm laid back for the most part. I'm hella-dedicated to what ever I'm involved with. I'm simple and easy to please. I don't talk shit and I try not to listen when it's being talked. Music is a huge part of my life and I pursue it both as an art and in business. Lately I've been playing gigs acoustic with SOGGY BONE in Salt Lake City Utah. Check some songs out @ www.myspace.com/soggybone while your here and post a comment so I know you stopped by.Much love and respect,Barton http://www.mp3.com.au/BartonGill/

My Interests

Music is my main passion. Dont matter if it's my own or someone elses, I just love creating music. Other than that you can find me chillin like Bob Dillin, Being outdoors, Frizbee Golf takes up a bunch of my spare time, BBQ'n, writing, drawing, poetry, Jamming live shows, sleeping, drinking good Tequila on occasion, glass art, K.B. Snowboarding through the back country of the Wasatch Mountains with my girlfriend and our roughneck backwoods hillbilly rasta rocker crew, traveling, promoting, entertaining, dabling in counter cultures, history trying to get some higher learnin' and camping. I also enjoy fine sushi. haha!

I'd like to meet:

Bands! I'm always checking out unsigned bands. Get ahold of me if you are willing to send me a cd and can come up with a message that isn't obviously cut and pasted to every hot chick, promoter, and all who you hope will google your name for years to come. Put some thought into this shit people it's your art your promoting here! If it's good I'll do what I can to get you heard by some of my people. I wanna meet good genuine people. Guys and girls who like promoting music, No drama magnets. Music Industry Pros, online radio stations, pod casters, studio owners, producers, investors, other bands. Just good people in general. Fuck all the haters! And NO! I DON'T WANNA MEET YOUR MOM!
