About Me



I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

Flyover-States is the project of dustin ragland, ableton live, reason, and lots of real instruments. Blending classic songwriter influences with deconstructed folk and indie rock, Flyover-States hopes to make good music. so does everyone on here. this music is made in my bedroom on 19th street, and that is not an innuendo...note the ironic use of all lower case letters and rampant punctuation errors. but then i never scored all that high on the irony scale.peace be with you.
