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.
