Influences

Musically: Too many to list - so many great artists out there - anything with good vocals, catchy hooks and grooves. Original past projects Blue Zinc, The Rebel Wheel, Nathan Mahl ranging from R&B to full out Canterbury Prog. Also enjoy movie scores (turning action into music). Really anything fusiony, groovy, melodic and outta-da-box-interesting. I also have an appreciation for late 70's-80's music; how raw it was.
