About Me

I'm in school at Uoft for English and History but often times it doesn't seem like it. I spend most of my time playing various instruments (Harp, Violin, Mandolin & Guitar...I like strings...) or hanging out in coffee shops in a sad attempt to study. I play with two amazing bands called Key Witness and Carnival Moon. Other fantastic bands I've played with include: The Paint Movement, and The Weather Station. I'm also a huge lover of Irish music...and am convinced it's the best music in the world (although I'm biased since I've been playing it for most of my life). ..
