"Open wide the hymns you hide" - Nick Drake

About Me

Music is fun. It helps you with things. Writing music is also fun. It helps you when you want to sing your own songs. I've been writing songs for a while, and have played with many many people. It's fun playing music with people, but it's also fun playing music by yourself. In the end, music is good.

Nick Drake is my hero. His music has affected all aspects of my life, and still continues to do so today.

I'm in a 60's beat band called The Primordials. We play music to shake yer feet too. We have a new album out which you can get at our shows or from any one of us for $5
