I'm the guitarist, and have about a year and a half of experience, with one year of lessons from an amazing teacher. I play and appreciate all styles of music, and listen to a wide variety of styles, as well. I hope you can catch glimpses of the music that influences me in my playing. Thanks for visiting the page.. you have to register as a listener to actually download the high-bitrate versions, sorry, but you can stream them without having to fill out a form. Please feel free to email me or post on the message board with your thoughts and honest criticizm.
I am a percussionist, and have been playing for a little over 2 years. Some of my favorite drummers that have influenced me are: Carter Beauford, Billy Ward, John Sferra, Phil Selway ,and Will Champion. I currently take lessons at a local Music-Go-Round.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We played in Branson, Missourri. Church praise band.

Just so everyone knows why the quality is sub-par:
We don't record with professional or even adequate equipment at all. We use a primitive od--the computer mic dangling from the monitor! The track overlays aren't done in a computer studio like Cakewalk, they're just mixed in with a .wav editor. That's all we have, so we make good use of it. No beat syncing, either.. I've spent 30 minutes at a time editing manually just to fit the lead track over the rhythm and drums! Ahh.. maybe you can all donate some cash for a digital 8-track ;).
