My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/3/2004
Band Website: lonesometumblers.com
Band Members: this is what i do i play beautifully drunk folk music with a guitar that sounds like a freight train or maybe a bucking bronco all by myself
but then again other times I join forces with other people to make awesome rock jams
for example,
I play guitar and sing with the LONESOME TUMBLERS

I'm in the new supergroup CHAUNCERS you should hear us

I play guitar for DORSIE FYFFE & THE FEARLESS FLIES

AND someday I'll play microscopic gems and jams with TH TH TH TH STUTTERS whenever it gets off the ground
i think i played about one-hundred concerts last year//////
i did a lot of driving you crazy and it was great,
i even slept on the floor of a bar-b-que restaurant in tennessee

but for now i'm back in cincinnati

i book and perform all of my own concerts which keeps me very busy

if you want to see an EPK well then just say so,
it will tell you how big of a stage i require and how many white towels

in perpetual delay, my latest brilliance:::::::::::
"Clouds Overhead for the Milkmaid Daydream: Ringers and Bringers or: Too Many Cowboys, Not Enough Outlaws, Vol. 1"

-and-

especially for you a new experimental release in the works, my follow-up to 2005's "let us go to the moon!" and seventh in a series of ten instrumental concept albums
