This page has my solo stuff on it, but I am working with other people in different projects. I am currently putting out a new solo record which will feature contributions from some of Oly's finest musicians. I am also playing for the the groundbreaking new heavy music band, "King Mob" featuring, Cassie on Vocals and drums, me on the ax and effects, Kevin on drums, effects and analogue samples and Erik on Bass. My previous electric project with my friend, Tah on drums and me on vocals, electric guitar and knob tweakin'/petal pushin', was called "Girlyman". Sub Rosa was: me on guitar and singing vocals and Mara Lutsky on spoken word vocals. The Hindenburg Explosion was: me on the acoustic ax, Mara on spoken word and Graham (cello).

I am a songwriter by trade. Northern California is where I hail from and it is where I will most likely return to, as that is the cyclical nature of life. I write songs because it is a physical need that enables me to translate the events of each day, on a global, local and personal level, into a language that connects what I think with what I feel.
Olympia WA is my home now for the past few years and I do love it so.

Hey White Paris! Black Paris is playing here as a kick off for his "Hard Truth Souldja Tour". But tickets are $35 bucks and that may be the hardest truth of them all.
hi Paris! sorry i didn't go to your partayyy. I was in a grumpy mood and felt like doing dishes for two hours. I'm sure it was probably tons of fun. I'm looking forward to hearing your cd. see you in my closet for band practice tomorrow!
