My Bona Fides
It seems to me that most people have some third person account of who they are in this section. That’s not what I’m going to do. I’ll just tell you myself.
I’ve been playing guitar since I was twelve years old. The first song I learned was America The Beautiful. But it was really hard what with the peeling fingers and hand stretching so after six months of lessons, I quit playing for a year. (I’ve always been the easily frustrated, give up type. That’s another story though. A story that’s not over.) When I went back to the guitar, I could play it. It was really weird. Like I had been thinking about it that whole year and it was the same as practicing.
Getting up onstage for an open mic when I was sixteen was one of the most terrifying experiences in my whole life. I was shaking so bad that my little feet were thumping against the rungs of the bar stool they put me on to play. Back then my songs were a little more straightforward and a lot more emotionally brutal. Really sad songs. By the end of my fifteen minutes there was a woman in the back just uncontrollably sobbing. I had reduced her to a phlegmy, tear stained mess and that’s when I knew I had found what I wanted to do with my life. I’ve been performing ever since both solo and with a punk band for a few years called The Pre-Teens. We ruled then we broke up.
There are things I will need to make this my livelihood. Shows, press, management, distribution, promotion, etc. If you can help in any of those areas, please feel free to contact me. But all of these things are of no consequence if people don’t like the music. So what I really need is your support. If you’re digging the music, let’s be friends.
So I can hear you wondering what you’ll get for this. In return, I promise to keep writing, recording and playing shows. If enough people lend their support, I will probably play somewhere near you. It is my goal to keep this a transparent process. By that I mean that you will hear about my musical life and whether or not this becomes a more financially viable occupation than my current one. You can come with me. We can do it together.
