About Me

I'll start from a couple months ago i just wrapped up playing with stella by starlight the band which i fronted. if anyone has any recordings of us let me know by the way. stella by starlight was very cool everyone in the band was cool and collectively we wrote some really good fun original thought provoking yet abrasive and assertive rock and roll i'm pretty much playing solo now except for the occasional person or band that plays along usually with my good friend mike. i have been playing music for about 8 years and writing for longer than that i really play a huge variety anything from bluegrass to rap but here lately i have been doing strictly bob dylan songs which has been going pretty well thanks to alot of people (one in particular.) this being alot diffrent from the metal bands i used to play with... whats up bitter! ..l band played guitar in. or my 70's rock coverband which was one of my favorite bands where i got to sing like mick jagger or robert plant .i get in these moods sometimes where instead of playing the bob dylan songs i will do a whole show of just dance music like of montreal or flaming lips or something really far out so alot of times you get a couple of dance numbers from me when i'm playing. i'm not so good at writing an autobiography if anyone questions or anything let me know

random haiku

christmas clowns nightfalls, sounds of a street-harp calling, jugglers gasp the prison break, paper dawns beneath the door, sudden rivers seas flowing, wear a mask upon the shore
