A soft, warm, richly harmonic melody from the past and the future, resounding from a glass-enclosed vacuum of deep space.
From Portland, Oregon, I am a multi-talented musician that performs an energetic blend of acoustic/electric music of which the driving force is taken from the music and stories of the simple life and hard times that I have experienced for the past 54 years. These tunes have been coerced out of my mind by various substances, only to be etched with ink (or blood) onto sheets of paper (or the occasional barroom napkin), then mysteriously transformed into wildly gyrating actions of human appendages onto the fretboard of various stringed instruments, only then to be spewed out upon the unsuspecting audience in an emotionally charged discharge of vocality, electronic emissions and sound waves, through a smoky grid of uncertainty.

Hey Randy- I was planning on it. I thought you put me on the list- but now I'm kinda tempted to go to the jam at Joel's bathroom instead- let me think about it :)
