Why this name?
A play on words from Cromagnon Man.. Also because I often rock a large Afro. If you want to get in depth here is the break down....
Fro = Forward
cromagnon = primitive...
Magnum = big
IE. A big step Forward keeping the culture where it began

Do you play live?
Absolutely.. All the time.. Snugs harbor is a local venue I've played a lot and I love it.
