About Me



I still think this is cool... .."425" height="350">.. ..
I am a violinist in Austin, TX, currently playing symphonic rock with the Invincible Czars and bluesy country with The Old Holdouts . And of course Mostly Dead as well.The first band I ever joined, the world prog riff metal outfit Muppletone will be reactivated in 2010.
My buttoned-up half maintains a classical music lifestyle with such performers as Chanterelle Duo and Quartetto Lirico .
I've appeared on recordings with Sam Arnold and Sea Legs . My "sitting-in" endeavors include Boxcar Preachers , Bourland , Surfing Standing Still , and Graham Reynolds' Golden Arm Trio .
I maintain a personal web page here (way more frequently than I maintain this page).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

realistically, I don't check this page any more. Here's what this section has always said:

I'd like to meet violinists (especially if what you do is a little beyond Beethoven), artists, musicians, fun Austin people.

Musicians: feel free to friend-request me. Just don't be offended if I deny it (I like being able to read all my bulletins). For a sure-fire add, click the links for any of my bands listed above or below (in my top friends).
