lot's changed and now i'm a free man. i live out of my car, travel, write songs, sing with full and happy lungs. i'm writing about it all and eventually will turn my scratchings into a book. you can follow my journey at year of a thousand roommates. if you want me to come sleep on your couch or play songs in your town, drop me a line. i've dropped out of "real life," and am living a real life. i want to live, laugh and love. i hope you're doing the same.
come visit me when i'm in your area and sing along.

You put on a great show at the Soapbox the other night. It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed it a lot. I love the CD's and we will defiantly be at the show on the 19th.
Hey, I wanted to thank you personally for taking the time to listen to us :) I hope that we never let you down! Seriously :) we try our best to reach out to our buds and establish a connection both with our music and as people.
