About Me

Futureman will be getting together shortly to play, practice, and record...not in that order, necessarily. We hope to re-record some older songs(songs we recorded as reverie((our old band)), and some songs we never got around to recording as Futureman) before the start of the summer. We also hope to book some shows for May, June, and July. Keep checking back.
