ABOUT

I want to start something up but the local music scene is lacking. Maybe this will help pull some people in. I'm 34, married and have a kids. I've done this for the past 15 years so I know what I'm doing. I've toured half of the country with my old band The Jersey Sky. We were like a mix between Bayside and Emarosa. Now I'm writing things a lot different. Softer stuff, a little folk inspired. Ideally I would like to start something a little heavier(?). Jimmy eat world/ Death Cab/ Manchester orchestra related.
