NEWS
I have begun working on my next solo CD. Slated for a 2010 or 2011 release, it will be called Streetlight Smile.
I am also playing bass in the Quinn Sands Band. We have several shows lined up through the end of the year. A full website is coming soon, but in the meantime check us out at www.myspace.com/quinnsands or www.redverbnation.com/quinnsands

upcoming shows
I play guitar, bass and drums. I've released about 5 albums over the years with me mostly playing everything. I am a terrible singer, so I always have guest vocalists. I have never formed a band to perform these songs live until 2007, and that only lasted one gig. I have played bass in other original performing bands as well (and currently do).
Why this name?
It's my name.
Do you play live?
I have played live with my previous bands. I did put togethor a live band in 2006/2007 to perform material from all my releases, but that ended after one performance in March 2007. It wasn't that good, but at least I finally gave it a shot. I learned I am a better bassist then a guitarist. I currently play bass for Oliver Buck & The New Madrids.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
easier access
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Not sure. I would like to do everything D.I.Y. through my label, Love Muffin Records.
