About Me

for several and several years golden gram has existed as the recording performing entity of one gram lebron, aka golden gram. almost all being enjoyable to some extent.
lately, i've been DJing and producing a lot. you can catch me @ happy hour fridays @ missouri lounge saturday nights @ Mua with DJ uncle joe for Golden Showers, rainin' down hits and Sunday nights @ Kitty's bar with DJ uncle joe, 80's explosion!
will you like something you can't categorize? we hope so.
things are alright. i used to be in rogue wave. that was fun for a while.
now, i am playing with port o'brien, which is highly enjoyable. I love those kids.
in the past few years I've gotten to share the stage with a lot of my favorites: dr. dog, the heavenly states, spoon, port o'brien, and nada surf. yeah!
various recordings and public appearances have also occurred as golden gram, with the phantom drummer, with jake troth, or the tea set, the san antonio kid and his bootleggers, or a misfits cover band, johnny cash cover band, the venison book, schrasj, sad like crazy, jessica six, call and response, trompedo, conundrum..... several of these appearances may recur. stay tuned for details.
playing, singing, recording, writing, producing, engineering as much as possible is key to golden existence.
"my heroes keep dying. i miss archie lebron and evan farrell, a lot. i like fruit and yoga. a lot of people think i am tall. i like to feel lucky. my father's mother always told the students in her rockford, AL art colony, 'you have to paint a thousand water colors before you get a great one.' but i think she might have stolen that from someone.
so, there you go."
look for a follow up to 2001's smash hit solo debut "golden gram" in August 2009.
"A Psychiatrist could help..." "No, he'd pull me back into the center, and i want to stay as close to the edge as i can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center. Big undreamed of things, the people on the edge see them first"
