About Me

i've always sung, but i've only been playing the guitar for three years or so. i've sung background vox with cincinnati bands wussy (find them under "wussy") and readymaid. i've opened for kim taylor, chuck cleaver (of wussy and ass ponys), and lisa walker (wussy, the hiders). i have no idea if/when i'll play out again. i just like recording at home.
