Empire of the Toad

About Me

Empire of the Toad is the metaphoric avatar for the perspective I view sociological environments through. It is also the project name for my compilation of musical endeavors, soon to be in the form of an audio cd. I have been fortunate enough to have the help of many talented musicians that have contributed their time, talents, and support.
Besides the solo project I have a wide range of experiences. I'm currently in The East Edge with some other alumni with the DP Big Band. Some of the past bands or artists I have performed and/or recorded with include:
Sarah Ayers, Spitshine, Cherryfix, 123GO, Flux, Tapas, Blind Spot, Rhino Campground, Bernie Worrell, Joe Stuby and Rocking Horse, Just Mustard, Skinny Mulligan, Scott Bradoka, Shotgun Wedding, Ritual Bridge, Dirty Blondes, Dragonfly, Greg Howe, Weston, etc...
Besides those projects I have considerable experience in pit orchestras and played with the Dorney Park big band and other jazz bands. I made my myspace layout using Pimp-My-Profile.com ..

Cycle of Empires

If there is weakness it will be consumed by strength, where there is strength there will be excess, excess leads to corruption, corruption makes weakness. Part 1
