About Me

It's not about me. It's about YOU. TIME Magazine said so.Anyway, me..I'm the bass player and singer for Karen Collins and the Backroads Band out of Takoma Park, Maryland. We've got a new CD coming out on Azalea City Recordings in April 2007.I also do Records Management for a Federal contractor when I'm not either playing music or thinking about playing music. Or being a homebody husband and a Dad to an extremely energetic and engaging 6-year old.UPDATE: I have a whole 'nother MySpace Music page as of recently; never could figure out how to upgrade this one to include original tunes. Go to http://www.myspace.com/geffking for what I mean.
