"THUNDER" LIVE AT SCHUBAS, CHICAGO,IL, ON ST. PATRICKS DAY
"SWERVE" LIVE AT SCHUBAS, CHICAGO,IL, ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY
Sacramento, California was the home of my post highschool rock band Ian Faith. Through multiple member changes and a number of disasterous entanglements with the record industry we ended up and eventually disolved in Boston MA. Nashville became the birthplace of a new band founded by ex-Ian Faith member Jeff Lemons and Lex Price, called Tremolo. Tremolo made a few friends in the local music scene and eventually became Septemberland. Septemberland made a few more friends in the Nashville community, and earned a small amount of recognition amongst those who live with the delusion that they "count". I now reside here in Chicago, having weeded out all the charlatans and weenies, I am surrounded by an amazing family of accomplished and dynamic music makers and otherwise, beautiful people.
I love music!! I most of all love the humanity of music! When I'm not making music I'm a Tour Manager/Stage manager for a short list of artists and organizations Who's music and creations I enjoy supporting.
So, find me in the dark bars, the hot crowded theaters, or the bustling out door festivals, oiling the tired muscles of the giant organism that is live music and let's have a cold beer and listen together.
SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC EVERYWHERE!!
