About Me

i grew up in a valley.
i moved to another valley.
played a heavy rickenbacker bass.
moved to a different country or two.
picked up a guitar (cuz i thought it would make me a protest singer... not really)
my songs are like little snapshots of memories, people i've met or dreams of a life yet unlived
hope you like them.

check out this video!
the little toy i gave gruff rhys in austin showed up in this video! i'm so excited!! (it's the little toy that you wind on top that has the little animals on the side...)
