Open Day

The Power of the B

About Me

Open Day is an inspirational solo project stemming from another band called Kind Brother - Albuquerque's All-Original Folk-Rock Duet. We've got 30 tunes and are working on many more, plus focusing on recording a new record. (myspace.com/kindbrother).Some of my dear friends keep asking me to play my own show...we'll see what happens, but thanks for the support.This past summer has been the best of my life and I have many friends and strangers to thank for that. 08 promises to be even better and it is that optimism and hope that I wish to extend towards everyone.I am primarily a bass player, but have been picking up this cool acoustic that someone special gave me and I've been writing more songs than I know what to do with. I hope to share some of them here with you.Thanks be to all those who came out to the Kind Brother gigs at O'Niell's Pub. You gals and guys are what make it all worth it. Gracias!N8got hope? www.barackobama.com
