This is the cover for Son Ambulance's new record entitled Someone Else's Deja Vu. I play bass on the track Wild Roses and am now a full time member of the band. I am so pleased and honored to be a part of this record and band. Joe and Jeff, the main folks behind the album really turned out a minor masterpiece here in my honest opinion. Please give it a listen and check us out on tour this summer. www.sonambulance.com/
