My love of music motivates me to write and record my own compositions. In terms of artistic release, there is no equal to creating something where before there was nothing but an empty zip disk or CD. For the most part I work alone and do all of my own composing, playing, and recording. Just in it for the fun. Some of the songs that will be put up here feature my friend Tim Howie who is a great guitar player/musician/composer/producer.
Why this name?
I was born.
Do you play live?
I played bass at a French Canadian wedding up in Northern Maine about 16 years ago. Black flies and Jim Beam and country songs.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
You can put your music out there without compromising your integrity or dreams.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I don't take this that seriously. But sure, who would'nt.
