About Me

Mutant Mariachi Productions Presents
Sidewalk Rocker:
FAST HEART MART
"Albuquerque's most famed, most loved, most artistically edgy street music phenomenon!"
(~Albuquerque Arts Magazine September 2007)
A heart defect makes his heart race until he dies... but not to worry, he now has an implanted defibrillator to shock his heart back into rhythm!
FAST HEART MART sings witty, rootsy rock songs about quitting your job, seizing the day and why The Apocalypse is gonna be a good time!
"Sidewalk Rock" is his signature sound. (For fans of Violent Femmes, Bob Dylan and Nirvana ~unplugged.)
With Roblyn Crawford on snare, he makes a living touring in his veggie-oil-fueled van, fearlessly tackling controversial topics and encouraging participation from fans and hecklers alike!
"A great songwriter with an ear for the unusual lyric and beat."
"Music that is truly original."
"Makes other bands look as if they're standing still."
"Innovation deserves applause."
~Weekly Alibi
"Emotionally evocative, melancholy and humorous."
"Sidewalk Arrhythmia rocks!"
~Flagstaff Live
"Swinging hopping inventive and funky."
"Unlike anything played in this town."
~Wig Wam Bam
