National Standard National Standard
A song from my current band, the Nod, written by our guitarist, and recorded by the band. My favorite original that we play.

3 Minutes to Heaven (alt. tuning) 3 Minutes to Heaven (alt. tuning)
Same as my previous version of 3 minutes to heaven, except I remixed it a full step down, rerecorded the vocals, and axed the backing vocals that weren't working for me. This is technically still a work in progress, but I like this version more.


I Will Follow You Into the Dark I Will Follow You Into the Dark
A cover me and my cousin did of a Death Cab song. Probably our best harmonization work during the final chorus.

Shadows (Original Version) Shadows (Original Version)
This is the first version of Shadows, with acoustic guitar, piano, and vocals. I'll keep it up until I get my new version finished so you can hear the rough idea of what it sounds like.

Welcome to my Soundclick page. This is where all my musical ideas go, finished, unfinished, whatever. I'm primarily a bass player, but also play guitar and piano, and I write a lot of original music on guitar. I listen to a variety of styles, and consequently I write in a variety of different styles. There's a few things up now, some solo, some done with the help of my cousin, but all my work. Keep checking back, as I plan to keep adding more songs in the next few months, as soon as I can get my recording gear back in operation. As always, I love to hear what you think of my stuff. Leave a note, send a message, and please enjoy!
Band/artist history
I've been a musician all my life, beginning with tapes my mother has of me singing children's songs. I played piano and trumpet in elementary and middle school and I started playing bass in high school. I learned guitar by borrowing my brother's axe soon thereafter. Since then, I've played in several bands from absolute garbage to moderately successful, and I continue to write and record original music.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Hopefully soon I'll be back on the live circuit.
