About Me

Thank God this exists!...Finally, the noodling in the studio has paid off. Now I can share these tunes with the cyberworld. Anyway, I have been playing drums professionally now for about 20 years and all the while singing and tinkering on other instruments in the studio just for fun. The songs have just been sitting on the shelf collecting basement dust and this is now their chance to be wiped off and to shine. I hope you enjoy these particular tunes (once they are up and running) and would love to know what you music lovers think of them. I am truly grateful for the fact that I have the drums and the studio as an outlet, otherwise, I would have probably ended up doing something crazy like running the country or something.

Sounds Like: I hate this question. I have been told that it sounds like Coldplay or U2. I have also gotten Echo and the Bunnymen and Elvis Costello. I think the Costello thing is just more my vocal than the music itself.
