About Me

BOOKING INFO:
U.S. & Canada contact- Todd Walker: [email protected]
in UK & Europe contact- [email protected]
This whole thing started when I spent an isolated winter recording music on a laptop in a tiny cabin out in the middle of nowhere Alaska... the second half happened in a little desert town in New Mexico called Albuquerque. Thus "Alaska in Winter" was created through a series of heartbreak, solitude, weddings, and funerals. .
The resulting music is one that has ties with the folowing bands:
Beirut
Rap
Opion Somnium
