I found a nylon string guitar in my attic when I was 11.
I write songs for Distractions . We are a rock-and-roll band from Chicago... but really we are more an acid-punk lounge group from Chicago.
I play guitar and keyboards in Pet Lions. Check us out. We are a pop band from Chicago.
My great friend Rob has a project called Ganges that I perform with also. We perform midwest river roots rock straight from good ole michigan via Chicago.
I live in a strange building in Chicago called the Halfway Lounge. It is a DIY venue that has hosted such acts as: The Names That Spell, Roommate, Zelienople, Animal Hospital, Mike Weis/Scott Tuma Duo, Lineland, Chandeliers, J + J + J, Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk, Fortuning, Leaves, Blah Blah Blah, Hollows, Distractions, Netherfriends, Red Delicious, Tin Tin Can, Dario, Love Raid, Percolator, Piss Piss Piss Moan Moan Moan, Ganges, Colorlist, Matthew Merryweather, Twin Cats, Rifle Recoil, Pet Lions, Plenum, Silences Sumire, Exercise, Bearkat, and more. Contact me through myspace if you are interested in performing at the Halfway Lounge.
Sometimes, I operate a record label called Pretty All Right Records. I hope to pick up the slack on that soon when some cash comes around...

Check out another project of mine via this FREE podcast. I took sound clips from the Great Gatsby book-on-tape and layered them over original music. Enjoy the music and brush up on the classic novel in under an hour's time.
