My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/21/2005
Band Website: tendollaroutfit.com
Band Members: yours truly.
Influences: Jeff Buckley's vocals, Prince's pop mastery, Steely Dan's cryptic lyrics, exotic arrangements and kick ass outros, John Mayer's ability to combine all my favorite guitar influences, Coldplay's sense of orchestration, everything Radiohead, Jamie Cullum's injection of jazz into pop, Black Crowes' southern soul, and Miles Davis for spear heading a movement. Indirectly, growing up and being schooled in New England, traveling around Europe with my guitar, and having a solid family unit. Subconsciously, being white, male, and middle class...I don't know how, but it definitely affected me somehow, somewhere down the line...it must have.
Sounds Like: RGB video for "What I’m Looking For"
