Solo rock? Or just a rhythm section want ad? You be the judge. After all the various bands over the years it boils down to the songs and the singer. So here I am. Bentham.
Why this name?
My dad chose it when I was born. After Brit philosopher Jeremy Bentham. Learn more.
Do you play live?
I do play live, but not very often. Need to do more of that. In and around San Francisco and the Beast.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
No quality filters. Hooray, boo.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Got one?
