Mr A and Mrs B Mr A and Mrs B
well, almost everything you thought you had is gone, but you still got the neighbors
Take It to a Different Place Take It to a Different Place
old style rock with psych elements
Bend in the River Bend in the River
a true story of love and loss between the Llano and Colorado rivers
Somebody Like You Somebody Like You
sometimes a three week romance can seem like a plutonic eternity

This music is pretty much a solo effort, with help from friends on several tracks. The songs were chosen from my catalog for thematic, rather than stylistic coherence (except for the last track). I still believe in the "album" experience of yore, where one would enter a space and go on a little musical journey. I hope these songs bring you something.Band/artist history
I've been playing in bands since junior high school in Houston (Brimstone). Rock, pop, dance tunes. I was in a punk style band in the early 80's, which transformed into a drum-machine style pop-rock band called The Big Dippers in San Antonio. This transformed into Dancing Bear in Austin with a real drummer, and we were showcased in the first SXSW event. After I relocated to Washington State I played in an asortment of duo's, trio's, and a really fun old-style country band, the Steel Madronas in Port Townsend. Now I'm in old Virginia.Have you performed in front of an audience?I just moved to central Virginia, and am seeking a band situation again. I have always loved playing live.
