About Me

My name is Kurt. I play the bass and whatever else I can get my hands on. I'm more interested in being a writer/composer than being a player (though I REALLY like to play). I often embarrass myself intentionally so that people won't know how completely awesome I am. I often embarrass myself unintentionally when in the midst of being awesome. Now I'm embarrassed. Awesome.I'm in the most awesome band in the world, The Fresh. I'm in the most embarrassing band in the world, The Fresh...I adore this man.
