About Me


Started way back in the glorious summer of '97, jamming in a living room in woodinville, Justin and some bros formed a band. Originally set to be called "Velvet Rope", we changed the name to Author Unknown in order to more appropriately portray the music we were portraying, both the covers and the originals. A sort of an homage to all the "author unknowns" that we loved and listened to but that nobody else had heard. Music of the people and for the people. We quickly built up a massive set list and started booking local shows as a cover band, throwing our original tunes in where we could for our own personal enjoyment. After much prompting from friends and fans, we recorded our first cd in 2000, another in 2004, and now have a new CD under the name "Buckets of Rain" to avoid any confusion with the cover band "Author Unknown". Check out the buckets of rain my space page for more info about that. After playing around town for many years, and going thru some changes in the band, we have met and enlisted some of seattles finest musicians in the current configuration. Justin is the only remaining original founding member of the band from that glorious summer of '97...
