| In
a nutshell, I'm a singer-songwriter guitarist in the genre of "soulful
roots rock." I currently live in the Mac-Groveland area of St. Paul, MN
with my wife Jenny and our daughter Sophia. Aside from various garages,
backyard barbecues, talent shows, friends' parents' basements, extended
family gatherings, etc., I've been "playing out" since I was 19 which is
a very very long time ago....like back in the early 1800's. Since then
I've played in a variety of bands ranging from "variety" bands, to acoustic
rock, to classic rock, to 80's rock, to alternative rock...some of which
were all covers, some all originals, and some a mixture of covers and originals.
My most recent failures include Loft, The Porn Thieves, The Careys, Minnesota
Gold (or Gould if you're Canadian), and with singer-songwriter heart throb
Nick Hensley in Minnesota's own rogue acoustic duo Love Songs For Angry
Men. In June of 2003, I released a solo album Wondervibe and I'm now finally
getting ready to record a follow-up which I will support with solo shows
and some full band gigs once I get my shit together. Hopefully it will
be ready for release in spring of 2008. Some people have told me that my
songs sound kinda like John Mayer...which sucks because I really don't
like him. Not to say that he can't play...indeed he CAN. It's just that
his songs...ah nevermind! No offense John. Anyway, some other recordings
on which I can be heard include Loft "Pavement", Jim Carey "Juliet Ave.",
and Love Songs For Angry Men's Live Discs I thru IV. Through meeting many
many musician's over the years I've developed sort of a self-deprecating
sense of humor as I've found that there are already plenty of folks in
the biz who take themselves WAY too seriously. |
