Band History:
I was raised on the Ventures(60's instrumental band) while in my mother's womb..and introduced to a plethora of 50's and 60's music all by my father. However, I did not start playing an instrument until I was 18. I started playing drums by default(my dad was a drummer..and no one else had a drumset or a place to practice), but always wanted to sing and play acoustic guitar. So at 22,I moved to Boston from the Cape to become a Rockstar..I cofounded a progressive metal band called Fingerbomb. After realizing I sucked at drums and that the band would be better without me...I left to pursue a songwriting career...and that's where I am right now.
Your influences?
Jump Little Children, Martin Sexton, Radiohead, M.Ward, Iron and Wine
Favorite spot?

Equipment used:
I use jedi mind control for my acoustic material and the flux compaciter for most of my electronica stuff.
Anything else...?
"When you feel life aint worth livin' you got to take a look around and look up way to the sky, and when your deepest thoughts are broken... keep on dreaming boy, cuz when you stop dreaming it's time to die."
