ABOUT

no cover bands! i might do a halloween show with you but otherwise i want to make something new.

day-jobbing old indie kid who used to play for a living. can play stripped down straight-into-the-amp, or layered laptop midi sounds. good assortment of physical effects and gear. looking for something to sink my teeth into. i wanna headline a saturday at the empty bottle again.

owner of mobile pro recording equipment. looking for a strong vocalist/writer to support and/or collaborate with. as you can hear, i can be a bit pitchy when i sing alone. i'm at my best singing backup harmonies and feeling a strong vibe.

think more lee ranaldo than thurston moore. i was a writer and singer but prefer to be the guy making your stuff more interesting and making your vocal wall bigger. can sing solo/2/3/4 part. not looking for folk singer/songwriter type vibe--looking for a group of people. either your group, or pull together a whole new group of people and start from scratch.

messages from non-cis-het-white-males strongly ENCOURAGED. and i don't care how old you are if you can play. let's mix things up!
