Hey, I'm Neil. This is going to be really simple. I want to pack a room (any size) with people who want to jump and sweat and swoon and laugh and cry and scream and fall in love with the sound of a dream.
I want to take music back to just getting friends together, having some drinks and putting their hearts out in the open for everyone to see.Band/artist history
1. My friend got a guitar in Grade 7.
2. He let me play it a bit on the bus rde to school.
3. I fell deeply in love with the act of making music.
4. I got a guitar.
5. I got a few more guitars.
