About Me

I think my band has morphed more times than Michael Jackson's face. It started out as my lonely little self in Chicago, recording in a attic where if you had to pee you had the option of an old wine bottle...or a slightly "used" gatorade bottle. I always suggest to go with the wine bottle in that specific situation, though the gatorade bottle has a larger "mouth" opening it's always a little unnerving to be the second one to notice that. Anyways, I hope you enjoy my music, it's a very personal venture for me, and I have the added luxury of allowing myself to be consistently stubborn about my music. I aim to please nobody except myself and those I wrote the song(s) for. If you enjoy my music I am grateful and I do wish you send me a message and a friend request...perhaps even come to a show. Everyone in the artistic community understands the value of support, especially since in most cases the people who surround you are the only ones who give a damn. So thank you for listening to my music. I really appreciate it.
