Bram Riddlebarger is a musician and writer from Southeastern Ohio. His current musical projects are his one-man band called the Lonesome Band (or, at times, His Lonesome Self), Seth Mess (aka the Hairy Hearts) (on drums), and playing drums with the Hoover Administration, the brainchild of itinerant travelers Zeb Dewar and Justin Gordon. Bram has played and recorded with numerous other bands including the Wailin' Elroys, Bram Riddlebarger & His Lonesome Band (or Lonesome Self), The Redtails, The Dragline Brothers, The Heartlanders, Zeb Dewar & the Working Poor, Seth Riddlebarger, 3 Speed Rusty, Woody Pines & the Lonesome Two, and Justin Gordon. Bram is currently at work on a few novels and has written seven other books of poetry and fiction. The latest, a new poetry chapbook entitled "Chez Filthy", was published in April 2009 with JK Publishing.

Tomorrow I am going to pick my nose and wipe it on the clouds above Athens. Then I will bake the earth's population with a colossal burst of methane gas that will seal up the atmosphere like an enormous dutch oven. Stay tuned for that...
Hey Bram, what's the good news from the heart of the heart of it all: Athens, Ohio? I hope your pancreas is still producing digestive enzymes and manufacturing hormones, including insulin and glucagon, which are central to the metabolism of sugar, fat, and protein. Fwah!
