**The songs that are currently posted are a collaboration with the incredibly talented Alicia Bekeny. I'm working on making a separate page for our collabo's, and then I'll post some of my true solo work again.**
I've been playing music since I was 10. My Mom forced me to take piano lessons. I hated them. I dropped the piano when I took up the trumpet. I got bored with that, and switched to the baritone. Then I realized that wasn't cool, so I learned the drums. My friends started a band, but already had a drummer, so I learned the bass to join. Then I stole my sister's guitar and taught myself power chords. I played punk music. Then I grew out of that, and came back to the piano. Somewhere along the way, I acquired a harmonica, mandolin, and accordian. Throw it all together, and you get what I do now.
My focus primarily is on my band, Seven Second Chances , but from time to time, I like to play solo. I try to keep them separate, although you often may hear 7SC songs if you catch me playing an open mic or solo gig. I just do what I want--what I feel. Music is my way of expressing myself. I really don't mind if you don't like my music. You're entitled to that. But don't get jealous if you girlfriend likes me because I sing sappy songs about love. She's entitled to that as well.
All the songs you hear are most likely the result of me being bored...home recordings. So just so you know, I realize the sound quality sucks...but unless you feel like buying me some righteous studio time, you're just gonna have to deal! :)
