I'm on vocals, guitar, and piano. I perform as a duo with the amazing "Q" on acoustic and electronic drums.
Influences
I'm more of a songwriter than anything, so my songwriting influences and inspirations come from real life. I'm from the "truth is stranger than fiction" camp. I love things like Found Magazine (www.foundmagazine.com) and the audio documentary show "This American Life" (www.thisamericanlife.com).

Songwriter. Guitarist. Pianist. Vocalist. Painter. OK, so I'm a little busy... Timing and Lighting, my new album produced by the incredible Henry Strange has just been released on my new label, LossLess Records (www.losslessrecords.com). I've completed a series of 300 Paintings to go along with the album. In an unprecedented move, a number of these poster-size (think about it-- that's big) works will be used as promotional giveaways for the CD Release. You can see some of the hundreds I've completed on my website www.timingandlighting.com. Sign up on the list to find out how to get some amazing original music and a painting of your very own!
