ABOUT

I'd like to put together an Activist Band! We would play at politically progressive rallies, fund-raisers and parties. Some of those gigs would be donated, some would be paid. I also want to make a CD of originals. I'm well connected in the SoCal progressive groups and can book weekly gigs.

My last band nicknamed me "The Dance Monitor" because I am known to get people out of their seats and onto the dance floor. :)
