About Me

In 2007 I signed with Illegible Records. Some of the other label artists are shown below... check them out. A nice variety of styles! A few of them helped out with my album. I want to thank those Illegible artists and the others that help make ICEBERG a cool CD in my opinion. And I thank Eric Blades of Illegible Records for wanting me to record a new album! The CD has a nice flow from beginning to end if you listen straight through. I put photos up in one of the albums having to do with this project. I'll put more up once I've gone through all the shots from the CD release show. I also decided to put some of my artwork in the "pics". Some of it is pretty old. The concert posters are from the late 60's and early 70's. I'll put more of a bio type of thing in here some other time.~[FYI]~ If you leave a message with a LARGE photo/graphic below, it will be taken down. And just because somebody is in my friends section, it doesn't necessarily mean I endorse their use of photos/graphics, language and subject matter on their spaces. Also, not all people that want to be added on as a friend will make it. There's just some spaces that I can't link to for a number of reasons. "That's just the way it is." - Bruce Hornsby

Sounds Like: For this new project... it sounds kind of like a mix of folk, experimental, freestyle, indie, jazz, world beat with maybe a little bit of 60's/psychedelica thrown in. In two words I would call the style Prog Folk. Is that a good enough description?
