  • Bio

    Raised in Tuscaloosa Alabama by French professors. Came out to Berkeley to study Physics, dropped out to play African drums and record songs on my 4 track. Started a garage band called C.O.B., then went solo and somehow started playing with some of the Bay Area's most lauded musicians. Hooked up with producer Dan Prothero and worked long and hard on my debut album.

  • Members

    A running cast of characters including Todd Roper (drums), Todd Sickafoose (bass), Marika Hughes (cello), Alan Lin (violin), Paul Hoaglin (bass), Andrew Borger (drums), Jon Erickson (bass), Jim Campilongo (guitar), Avi Bortnik (guitar), Greg Moore (vocals), Sean Hayes (vocals), Chuck Prophet (guitar)

  • Influences

    I’d like to claim Lennon and Syd Barrett, but it’s probably more like Paul McCartney and David Gilmour. Other English white boys like Bowie, Jimmy Page and Townshend. Mix in a little Prince and some Shuggie Otis, and some string pullers like Davey Graham, Nick Drake and John Fahey. My pop sweet tooth comes from early Police and 80’s R&B. Can’t forget my homies and local faves the Moore Brothers for their incalculable effect on me.

  • Sounds Like

    I've heard Tim Buckley, Jeff Buckley, Prince, Beck, Rufus Wainright, and Elliot Smith. Not my words mind you. Varies greatly on what show you see.
