Half-chupacabra, half-human born in the forests of northern New Jersey. Highly educated and too smart for his own good. Maker of over 20 albums of music. Wants to play gig in an ice hotel. Perhaps not a half-chupacabra half-man 1 man band at all but a pair of ragged claws scuttling dark wild ocean floors dreaming he's a 1 man band named Willard's Canteen.
