ABOUT

I primarily played in any cover band that would take me so as to satisfy the itch to perform. My most recent contributions have been with Palmerston, B-Side Chaos, and The Handlebars, in which i provided lea dguitar and back-up vocals. Lately I've grown tired of playing other people's song and have been stretching my creative muscles. I have previously written about an album-worth of songs alongside other musicians. I'd like to approach music as less of a hobby and more as life-long venture; as such, I will practice, rehearse, and write as often as you are willing. I am by no means an expert and enjoy being humbled by fantastic musicians.

Influences

Anything and everything—save for mainstream pop. Lately I've taken an interest in proto-goth (Bauhaus, Souxsie and the Bansheee) and Mongolian throat-singing techniques. My musical tastes know no bounds and I am welcoming to playing with all musicians of all genres and skill levels.
