The Madison Square Gardeners: Aaron Lee Tasjan, Mark Stepro, Rich Hinman, John Kengla, Bryn Roberts, Brett Bass and a regular cast of special guests
Influences
recent:
Como Now, Keith Richards - Main Offender, Heartless Bastards - The Mountain, Ben Kweller - Changing Horses, MGMT - Oracular Spectacular, NYTimes, NPR.
I grew up in East Canton, Ohio. I first went on tour at 17 and eventually landed in Brooklyn, NY (in a quaint Mexi-Polish neighborhood on the East River called Greenpoint).
My diet consists of coffee, kielbasa, perogies, tilapia, oatmeal, spinach, peanut butter and Thai Café.
I make noise...lots. Some recent bands and songwriters: The Madison Square Gardeners, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Tomi Fujiama, Kevn Kinney, Jill Sobule, Luke Doucet, Craig Chesler, Crescent and Frost, Jessie Kilguss, Suzi Shelton, Joe Whyte, Ana Egge, Nels Andrews, Sean Walsh and the National Reserve.
Future plans include improving my diet, Wikipedia-ing, Marichyasana B (would even settle for Kurmasana) and continuing to play fun music with great friends.
