About Me

"Possibly the best album to come out of central MN in the last 2 years." - John Drake - Local music show host on 88.1 KVSC -I have just released my first EP entitled My Turn. I am selling it for $5 or a good trade, such as your own CD or anything else you think I might want. Message me if you would like a copy. I am also looking for gigs around St. Cloud and the Twin Cities, so if you are looking for someone to come play with you, I would love to.

Secret Cigarettes

No, I didn't take up smoking.  That's just the name of the song I posted today.  Just finished recording and mixing it this morning.  Probably has some tweaking left, but not bad for mi...
