About Me


A few favorites: yawning, songwriting, fishing, teaching, dreaming (day or night,) dodgeballing, napping, coaching, sound-recording, writing, sleeping, live music, stompboxes, local musicians, etc. The songs heard here are demos & experiments that may or may not be played by my band OSO . For more audio just bust a click here.

We released our first album in July of 2007 to much fanfare and jubilation... ...yeah right, get your copy here and try to contain yourself: -Oso You Know preview- You can also download it through iTunes.



.. And also, there's a special spot in my soul for the music created by my friends.
