You might have seen me with the beautiful tornado, walking around town, volunteering at AFW, borrowing lots of DVDs from the library, maybe even rocking shows (of which I've averaged around 2 a month for a year or so), or earning dollars in the name of subbery. I've been fortunate to make music with talented friends and my latest effort (Still Means Something) is one of the Whammys Best Local CD nominees. I am quite inefficient, requiring much food and sleep. I recently joined forces with Left Lane Cruiser to start a band called Lenin's Jukebox and the chance to instantly alter the texture of a song is dope and a half. I'm in no rush to complete my next album (appropriately entitled The Tortoise Hustle) and consider myself to be a very fortunate fellow.
When not on stage, I prefer to be invisible, making this rocking shows thing an interesting test in stretching my socialization skill set. I'm loathe to self-promote and am thankful for those who have taken the time to hear my music.
Below are the covers of all but one of my releases (one a year since 1998)
I don't really listen to any music other than that which inspired me in the days of yore, I'd rather make it.
I made some tee shirts a while back and have a few left (figure I'll drop them off at Convolution tonight). They look a lot like this:
I've been slacking on entering the battle of the bands even though I know I should.
