my name is cayetano garza. my friends call me "cat". i'm a cartoonist and musician living in beautiful white river junction, vermont but i'm originally from deep south texas (harlingen, tx is my hometown). i've been playing music for many years and usually have several projects i'm involved in at any given time. these are some songs i wrote and recorded at home on my computer with nothing but a mic, a beat up old acoustic guitar and a copy of REASON 3.0. you can listen to full length previews of all my summermilk tracks as well as my estrechez tracks on the flash music player on my website .
my latest album MAY YOU ALWAYS LIVE FREE as well as all my newest singles are available through my SNOCAP music store:
i'll be adding tracks as i finish them. i also make webcomics...
clicky clicky to read my comics... check out my other current musical project ESTRECHEZ . i also made a little hip hop in a cartoon band called SQUAREPEGZ for a while with my friends from south Texas. we'd perform that material in "real life" as SQUAREROOTZ . thanks for listening. constructive criticism is always welcome. and friendly e-love as well. peace. you can see my comics, art and a lot of other stuff at my personal site www.magicinkwell.com ! find me on livejournal
