ABOUT

Hello - I am a singer/guitarist/writer for a local band that is looking to retool after a short run of fun gigs. Playing a mix of covers and originals, we aim to play out every other month or so at regional venues (most recently we’ve played Anodyne, Circle-A, and Kochanski’s). We’re in our 50’s with work/family commitments, and have a dedicated practice space (we take it seriously, but it is not a career path).
