I am a singer/songwriter and drummer/percussionist. I am also an actor/screenwriter/comedian. I am left-handed. I am a person who writes with slashes...
As a musical sideman, I have played the drums for a wide variety of projects, covering rock, jazz, country, folk, blues and electronica. I have played and/or (another one!) recorded with Les Singes Bleus, The Last Metro, Band of Outsiders, Claire Jenkins, Peter Katz, The Jane Waynes, Melisa Devost, Elana McMurtry, The New Black, Eve Goldberg and Evalyn Parry.
With my own songwriting, I am trying to create songs that reward repeated listening-that have lyrical depth but catchy, accessible melodies.
That is my goal/dream/desire/wish.
Hope you had a good time at the Boho last night. I wish I could have come! Alas, my bed beckoned at 8pm and that is where I happily (at the time) stayed until 8am today! My only regret is missing the chance to hear you and hang out. Next time.
I had a hoop of fun hanging out with you at eaglewood, Brad! That was a lovely 'campfire by the tent': you, me & Omer. Owl & Fish is beautiful! (is that the song title?)
PS, Upon reflection, I have come to realize that hairy is the new shaved chest... and one doesn't NEED spandex to rawk out, and so I won't mention it again!! :)
holy poopflingers, is there ever a whole whack of new stuff to peep at my, uh, myspace. most importantly, a few tunes from the new album "tiny increments" have been loaded up, some new pix (there's one of an otter with a funny hat on saying "bad hair day" ROTFL), and well...please stop on by sometime and see for yourself.
Hey Brad...great work on Daniel's album...I'm just loving the track I've heard so far...beautiful singing and heavy drumming...love it! All the best, Tracy xo
