About Me!:
I am a 27 year old musician and songwriter from the sacramento yolo area. I have been playing, singing, and teaching for over 10 years. I have been in and led several bands in the past. Went on a musical break for a few years after my last band broke up, but am now ready to get back and play music! (fu*k this does sound like an eHarmony add..). I like long walks on the beach and am an avid basket weaver.
My goal: First and foremost, I am not about money, I am about connection. There are a lot of people who save up their money or steal it, and sneak out, JUST to go to these shows and hear good music, why? Because of a lot of these people. . . it's the only place they go to feel safe. To feel accepted. To feel normal. THOSE are the people I want to reach out to and affirm. And if for 1 hour, we get to go up onstage, and rock the fu*k out, make some killer music, and maybe make a fool of ourselves while doing it, for them, that's what it's all about for me. I am low key and I am all about connecting with people and spending time with them after shows. That's what I'm here for. Now if I can make a sh*t ton of money while doing it, well that's great too, but it's not about that for me. So whoever goes with me on this musical journey must have a similar attitude. I want to use our music as a platform to inspire, and to be inspired by others. To get out there and experience life, the good the bad and the ugly with others, and to let them know they're not alone.
If I haven't scared you away yet and you're still reading this and are interested, contact me at 9onesix two9five, seven9one3 to set up a time to meet and audition. Links to my music coming soon. Thanks
