If you've found your way here it's probably because you're either
A: a fellow musician, or
B: you hang out in newsgroups populated by musicians, or
C: you have some undiagnosed malody that impels you to hang with musicians
... all quite valid reasons. Plus you get the added bonus of it keeping you from "twittering"....
I just realized this evening that this page is a whole lot different than MySpace pages, personal web pages etc... Most of us are musicians. So I guess that kinda clarifies why I post new stuff to this page only before putting it someplace where the general public would hear it. I need validation first. And since most of the people that come to this page know me, this is where I come for peer review.
So what's here is the "newly minted" version of my new album "1 Less Dead Man", due out when I figure out if I still have a label to release it on. More acoustic than I'm used to doing, but I've been leaning that way in live performances lately. So the album just kinda took on a life of its own.
OK... so good to have you here. Now let's go listen to some music...
I play around the Phoenix area occaisonally, but not as part of anything particularly organized. I do some gigs with a local blues band, some jam sessions, the occasional gig with former band The Lost Souls, mercenary/prostitute for some paying gigs... and lately I've been known to get up on stage all by my lonesome; oblivious to my surroundings, and completely unaware that foolhardiness is the stepchild of bad judgement. Whatever... the tips are good.
Ry Cooder, Danny Gatton, Philip Roebuck (this guy is righteous), Tom Waits, David Lyndley, Jr. Brown, Ryan Adams, and damn how I love The Dresden Dolls (no influence there... just abject fascination).
