Influences Jeff Buckley (everyone likes to say his name but no one sounds like this man... PERIOD no one has before and no one has since - however, i never get tired of listen'n to him so that makes him a serious influence), Elliott Smith, Supergrass, Shudder to Think, Jump Little Children, Tom Petty and The Heart Breakers, T Rex, Nick Drake, Kent, David Garza, Ed Harcort, Elbow, Muse, John Vecchiarelli, Pete Yorn, Ours, Travis, and you cant leave out the Beatles, and Led Zep, and Floyd... however, there are more influences in my life than that of musicians that i have never met. such as: my family, and friends, and my best friends Selina Bean, Sergio Sennder, John Vecchiarelli, Nathan, Jered, Jeff Sowell, Rachel, and Devin. These people, life, and love, teach me so much more and have been a greater influence on me than someone else's chord changes...

My dream gear... (well i think)

   About jR
THE YOUNG IMMORTALS have just released "Balance" as a LIMITED download only at Apple iTunes and CDBaby! You can listen to it at THE YOUNG IMMORTALS Myspace page www.myspace.com/theyoungimmortals. and if you like it you can download it at Apple iTunes!

I have been hard at work on some new songs and they are slowly coming out! Still doing some preproduction/recording at home. Making something that I can use as a "leader" to get a new band together.

Also at the same time I am writing/recording preproduction work on a solo project again. Its been a while and the songs are calling for it... i'll keep you in touch!

Since we have been a band we have won contests, recorded an album - receiving great reviews, created a video (on no budget), met some great people who are both friends and fans alike (who are helping us), played some amazing shows, and self-booked and toured the entire country (almost) the some of 2007. All this Including The Fever featured on the "Off The Clock" compilation, and the upcoming "commercial" (oooh bet you didn't know that one). I won't quit, I'm still working on getting THE YOUNG IMMORTALS to make a BIG NOISE!

... feel free to write me.

"Balance" released 2008.

Hiya,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hope you got a ridiculous amount of presents all of which you wanted very much. Also I trust that you spent Christmas with those you like best in all the world, cause otherwise, why bother? I am running away to Canada in January to record some music, so maybe I should incorporate that into my new years resolution... something, something, I will be creative and productive, blah, blah, blah. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, hope the holidays are great fun for you.

I'm sorry America voted for change and a new sense of pride in our country. It must have hurt bad. But, it had to happen. Long live Young Immortals!

P.S. finally got your solo album, and I loved it. Seriously, very impressed. "Dirty Angels" was a bit less energetic than what I was used to after having When History..... for a long time now. But, everything meshed well and it was very well played. Again, sorry about McCain.
