Resistor

Bio:

..

Most of my song compositions are pieced together in a free-form manner, made up entirely on the spot, and changing a few directions within. I prefer to play and perform improvised instrumental music. I believe it is impossible to grow as a person or musician or performer without stretching out and learning to play with all kinds of people. I encourage everyone to push themselves to do this because there are so many perspectives and so much to learn from just trying this, even if it feels difficult.

I perform and collaborate with lots of folks. I record most of my performances and rehearsals. Some of these projects wax and wane as time permits, some are one-time-only live performances, and others are more consistent. This website features my solo music, but I will be posting my upcoming shows with my family of musicans, here. I have a record label called Majestic Records which will be releasing my own projects and music that I am interested in. I am currently working on instrumental guitar pieces and I will be posting new songs during my recording sessions.

I play drums in Sweet Chariot. I play bass in a Black Sabbath cover band called Supernauty, which is currently not performing shows. I play bass and sing in Mars Accelerator, and every so often play drums in an instrumental duo called Resistor vs. Levator with Sky Lynn who is the songstress of Levator. I play guitar in another instrumental two-piece called Waves with Don Blair, an early drummer for Some Velvet Sidewalk.

In no particular order, I have performed live or collaborated or recorded with, all of these talented musicians:

Lean Crops, Elysian, Levator, DBM, Bill Sundt, Caroline Rue (Hole), Breaker Breaker, Cave Brides (members of Nod), Michael Dahlquist (r.i.p.)(Silkworm), Viking Moses, Pussy Chop Banana, Joy Wants Eternity, Carla Torgerson (The Walkabouts), The Colorblind James Experience, The Blue Leeches, Faster Tiger, Mancini Projekt, Yam, Chariots Of Blood, Ghosts I've Met, Brad Dunn, Knot Pine Box, aheartlesssolution, and a few others along the way.

I played with 7 other solo artists including Jherek Bischoff (The Dead Science), Brad Dunn, Alex Guy (Degenerate Art Ensemble) Devin Welch (Shoplifting), Michael Shannon (Aono Jikken Ensemble), and Jeffery Taylor and Michael Ohlenroth from Wall Of Sound.
