ABOUT

I’m seriously new to all this.
I played a sh*t ton in the 90’s with a few bands. Had some success of sorts and big dreams of course but life happens and I had to support my family. Those days are now behind me but I I still have enough life left in me to give this another real try. I have a billion ideas to share and I thrive working to bring the best out of others with good ideas.
I was raised on Metal, Punk, New Wave, old rock n roll as well as Country. Johnny Cash, Tow Waits, Elvis and Ween, the Beatles and Stones, Motörhead and the Sex Pistols. Throw in some Debbie Hairy, David Bowie, Lou Reed, Stomping Tom and the Rheostatic’s and we could be on the same page. I play guitar and Bass and apparently I can sing,
