Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Tooting my own horn of experience: including both solo and various group performances I've played over 1,000 shows spread over 4 continents, recorded over 24 hours of my own music and engineered/produced and recorded dozens of albums for others. I've performed/recorded in D+, The Microphones, EARTH, Laura Veirs, LAKE, Arrington deDionyso, The Bundles, Jim White, Angelo Spencer Et Les Hauts Sommets, and Bright Black Morning Light to name a few.
A LITTLE PERSONAL...
In the northwest of Washington State I grew up with the potential to be a 4th generation oyster farmer, but then traded in my pearls for music notes. I've been writing and recording music for over 20 years now. Currently I have a day job making underwater microphones (hydrophones y'all!) which is only part time -- and which is great because it gives me time to do my thing -- music!
Big changes are afoot in my household. As well as an artist I am a husband and a father. My wife, daughter and I am expecting another child in October, so that means the once vital touring lifestyle I've managed for 9 years is no longer valid. And it's perfect timing because my mind will most likely explode with albums full of songs if it gathers any more inspiration! And that could be messy.
