About Me

I am/have been in bands you may or may not have heard of, such as the Mystery Girls (new Mystery Girls LP coming soon), Ivan & The Terribles (maybe a new 45 soon?), the Tom Schrader 5, the Traveling Friendship Band and I just joined Hue Blanc’s Joyless Ones. I played with Pink Reason once and have been spotted at performances by Stephen Chioda’s Box Cutter too. I’ve also recorded stuff for other bands (sometimes with Jordan Davis [MGs, Sunday Sinners]), like the Tears, the Catholic Boys, the Jukeboyds, the Knockers, the Art Table and Hue Blanc (I think that’s all of ’em). I’ve started up recording solo again so maybe some evidence of it shall be forthcoming. I’ll be on the road this spring (with the Joyless Ones as a back-up band) with Hue Blanc & Pink Reason. Should be interesting.
So the songs I have up here...
"What You’re Doing" was recorded on January 20, 2008 at the behest of Colin Swinney. All instruments and vocals were done by me. Sorry about the generic guitar solo.
"Dance Of The Germans" is a recording from sometime in the spring of 1996. It features none other than Tom Schrader on the guitar, while I played everything else.
There will be more stuff up once the tour is over.
