About Me

Rocknrolldork is a mixture of honest 70's-80's rock 'n' roll, tear-in-your-beer classic country and Beatle-esque psychedelica.--"Growing up and playing guitar is great, but I wanted to play live more. I'm not the best guitarist, but I'm no slouch either and there are a million of me as a guitarist out there. I picked up the bass exactly for that reason. It took a minute, because it's a different beast, but I really enjoy the whole groove part of it. Heh... Pretty cool."--As a solo artist, rocknorlldork is mainly a recording project with a few spot shows throughout each year with a band of friends that have been playing together off and on for about 14 years.--Former bands and projects have been STATE, Citizens Band, Brian Deer & the Achievers, Familia, Freaky Peter, System 55, Chicken Leg, and SugarBooger. All the bands have had distinctly different sounds and genres, as you will eventually see. There will be random tracks from all the different projects added periodically for your listening pleasure.--Enjoy!
