About Me

"EXTREMELY CREDIBLE BIO." -js
new bio. I write songs about people with problems. I'm really lucky, because everyone I know has problems. This fact might deter you from becoming my friend, but I would still highly suggest it. Bla bla bla. I hope my songs make you wanna make out.
RECENT NEWS: I'm recording an album with the supremely talented Danny Schaffer. It's almost done. Check out Danny's myspace page. Also check out Frank Pratt (current bassist) and his band, the Sons. They rock.
I host an open mic in Wicker Park. The open mic info is as follows:
Thursdays, 10 pm
@ the innertown pub
1935 w. thomas
(1 block south of division, 1 block east of damen)
free and ongoing
