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.
- 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 (;

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.
Hiyo! When you have a minute, I would love it if you'd listen to Dandy Lion, my Mariah Carey remix. If you're feelin' my jammms, then feel free to vote for it here: http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/2192. Thanks for your time! Paz y Pesos, Gejius
