   About SecretChord
Ever since I was 10, music was the only thing that made perfect sense to me, the only thing I knew for certain I wanted to always be doing. I look to find that space where music stops being about a collection of people playing their instruments and starts becoming a singular, breathing entity, that moment when the players give themselves over to the song, and you're creating a little piece of emotional perfection for the world.

I do a lot of things in The Lady Clares (TLC), the greatest concept band of all time. So conceptual, in fact, that if we were to ever actually form a real band, the fabric of the time-space continuum would be ruptured and we would all die. I used to play guitar with Garth Michael McDermott and The Fingerprints (GMMD) as the index finger, until Garth decided he needed to move to Nashville. What's going on musically in Nashville? I play guitar with The Beautiful Trainwrecks (BTW). They think I sould like Slash. I love Slash. I play bass with Scott Gallegos (SG). I do whatever Pilar French (PF) needs me to do. Some would say I'm a musical slut; I say I'm multi-talented. And a slut. There I said it. I sing and play acoustic guitar in my bedroom with (and for) no one in particular.

I am available for hire for fill-in work on guitar and bass. Please contact me for availability and prices.

Loved your playing on Saturday night. Greensburg sounded a bit like Mr. Bownstone.
I credit that entirely to you!
