"best work to date and some of the
best music I have heard in a
long time... I feel like you should do something about
it." --michael r. welch of the meanderthals.
"...No one stands above him. He is quite tall."
--anonymous we shot j.r. comment.
"His songs manage to balance sincere emotion and humor without falling into overwrought emotion or relentless irony. Unnecessary but interesting found sounds and odd instrumentation spice up some of his songs."
--jesse hughly of the dallas observer.
"He is also in the Ponystars and used to play soccer and he looks so cool and has nice parents."
--funanimal comotion.
"...this guy is damned entertaining! if Banter's intuition is correct, this man's ablilties are much deeper than we know... musically, imaginatively, & spiritually." --banter.
"...heartfelt....uncompromised..."
--jim cross of jim cross.
I was actually going to say that you should play the show! haha! I had no idea who was playing with us, that is awesome! See you then! with love, Kelsey
Thank you so much for the request, Ryan! I really enjoyed your music...awesome! You should come out to J&J's on the 20th if you can!! Take care and drop by sometime! with love, Kelsey
well, it has been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, I Remember, is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!
to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of Now Is The Time in exchange for a valid email address. Now Is The Time is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote: we are living in turbulent times. suddenly it is okay to be greedy and heartless? no way! a song of hope for our future, a new vision of America and the world.
we have a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what is your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.
hey
so we're back again with new members and completely new songs. It would be cool if you could check out our page and let us know what you think, even if you don't think anything of it. We have all the info on what's been happening in our new blog. We are playing shows again so come see one and come talk to us.
-and again sorry for commenting like this.
thanks
