Professional day dreamer and dedicated night owl.I discovered my guitar when I was sixteen and played in bands ever since. Currently hitting strings in Soon, Confuse the cat and The Grenadines (which is a working band name), but also deconstructing my personal musical collage between the kitchen and my bedroom. I'll update this space with all I'm up to musically.Whenever unbusy getting my musical fix, I find myself enjoying films, cooking and wasting my last money on second hand instruments.Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

Confuse the cat / last show

I've decided to quit Confuse the cat. It feels strange ... because it's been a wonderful adventure and the great times we've had, both off and on the road, were countless. But I guess d...
