Bass Guitar.ABOUT
I am the guitarist for Indy based band Phantom Conscience Syndrome.
I am an easy going musician who loves to write and record my own music. I play a handful of different instruments and usde to play guitar and lead vocals for Savannah Ga. based band The Mortal Coil and also played drums for Indianapolis IN. based band Ebonmere. I have also invested in some home recording equipment and have started the long and hopefully fruitful journey of writing and learning how to record my own music...wish me luck!!!! And everynow and then pop back by to take a listen and let me know what you think :)
