  • Bio

    Formed in 2003 as a solo singer/songwriter project featuring acoustic guitar and voice. +++++++++ Theater artist Kate Kraay was added in 2004 as a way to more fully realize my interest in visual storytelling and in pushing the traditional singer/songwriter presentation into a more all encompassing audience experience. +++++++++ Christopher 'Space' Howe was added in 2007 and took over as the acoustic guitarist while I transitioned to synth keyboard. +++++++++ Drummer and percussionist Samuel Yoder was added in 2009. +++++++++ Space and I have been friends since 1995 having founded the band Abstract while living in Norfolk, VA. The band also featured cello and drums. +++++++++ Samuel and I first met in 2006 while working as professional landscapers/gardeners for the same company in Seattle, WA. +++++++++ Some of you may have seen the group share a stage with the likes of Poseur, Amateur Radio Operator, David Bazan, Bill Patton & the Credentials, Half Light, Swaybacks, Husbands Love Your Wives, Jen Wood, Led to Sea, Mark Johnson (of Amateur Radio Operator), Amy Blaschke, Night Canopy, Tomo Nakayama, Old Technology, Jeff McNulty, Levi Fuller, Brothers and Sisters, Fulsem Men, Diana Joy, Cap Lori, Heavy Teeth, Buffalo Tramp & V.V.

Please consider the impact you could make by committing to being an outspoken advocate for an individual or group you believe to be relevant and attention worthy. Together we can enrich our communities and our lives by allowing them to become infused with the talents of these people we all call our neighbors, friends, and family. From artists, musicians, and artisans everywhere, thank you kindly for your support.

    Those magnificently chaotic moments in between blinks {that's "life" for all you metaphor-challenged folks, bless your hearts}.

  • Sounds Like

    ESOTERICALLY... bronze snowflakes, large and misshapen, blooming from the pungent bosom of autumn clouds gingerly crushing the things that happen to be paused underneath while the whistle and ping of middleground trains, rectangular and browned, cruise by on peasant-woven wool railroad tracks. +++++++++ CONCEPTUALLY... a mirror of the underlying ethos of Nature. +++++++++ CRITICALLY... singer-songwriter meets experimental indie meets folk meets ambient meets minimalist downtempo meets noise with gospel-inspired vocals.
