About Me

There have been no updates in quite some time and I am overapologetic for this misstep on my part. We have been very busy in the studio, trying to put the necessary time, energy, money, and creativity in an album that we can be proud of. We are almost there, and patience is paramount in this process.Look for tracks from the new album to be posted within a month (late December, early January), and a slew of dates to be scheduled to support them. We cannot wait to share this new music with you, and we often giggle like school girls in our anticipation.Meanwhile, we have spent our time booking a few shows at venues we feel will strongly support the music we create. Please take the time to come to a live show for a mix of great music, lame schtick, and my marble mouth attempting to shape platitudes that take off like one-winged Boeings.

Like a listful of pretentious analogies.

Apprehensive is the way to be!

At 3 a.m., the door to the master bedroom burst open and Alfred rushed in with his open robe flying behind him. "Sir, you are needed!" he cried. I groggily turned over in my bed and tried to...

Alright let's have a round of introductions for everyone. You might know me as that guy who played in Phaeton with Mark Horton and Ron Theileman. It's quite possible that I ad...
