Folk songs for here and now. Sort of like a post modern Johnny Cash? Or maybe kinda like indy folk, if indy folk had some kind of sense of humor and life to it? Or maybe the next next Bob Dylan. Ya never know.

I'd like to find a drummer to collaborate with, whether it's just for a few tracks online or something more.

Working With Others

How I Work:

Well, I go to all the pet hospitals and petsmarts and petcos and load all the dead animals into the back of a pickup truck.Then I drive em back, cook em in the cremator, grind up the bones to powder...

If you're going to send me a session invite add a little note about what you're looking for. How do I work? I make it work (;

Experience:

Bands; solo shows; home recording.

Equipment:

Lawsuit copy Les Paul, Cheap Telecaster Knockoff, Fender squier strat in open tuning, Breedlove acoustic, crappy acoustic strung with bronze strings, crappy acoustic strung with nylon, Vox amp, old tube practice amp, Ebow, Digitech Whammy, Distortion Pedals, Chorus Pedal, PA, Mics, Fender Bass(run it thru the PA or record dwrekt), Drum kit, Roland SP 555 sampler (I can use the samplers to emulate several older drum machines as well as for other tricks...), E-mu esi 2000 sampler/synth, I use an old casio as a midi controller for the synth.

Very well-written and well executed songs. Love them, especially Kid Chameleon. I wish the vocals were mixed just a little higher so I could hear the lyrics better. Great stuff though.
