I started playing guitar when I was 13 and now have been playing, writing and recording music for around 30 years. I am for the most part a self taught guitarist but I spent a year (2009-2010) at The Musicians Institute (GIT) in Hollywood, CA to further hone my skills and break bad habits. In my mid-20's I traveled to Las Vegas and wrote, performed and produced the soundtrack for an independent film called "Fighting the Muse" which was a lot of fun but unfortunately the movie never went anywhere.
This is a small example of some of my solo music that I created a while back in my very modest home studio. I was also formally trained in Audio Production at The Art Institute Of Seattle.
All the songs that have drums use a crappy Korg drum machine (with the exception of "Easier Lost Than Found" which features my friend Britt Laswell on drums) and keyboard bass, but I write, perform and produce all instruments and vocals myself (with the exception of "See You Soon" which features my old friend Carter Morr on the 2nd [lead] guitar).
Also keep in mind that the majority of these songs are 15-20 years old and were originally recorded with a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder then later transferred to digital.
My solo music here is pretty mellow and moody compared to what I like to do live but it makes for a good release... Thanks for reading.Band/artist history

Well, Son, It sounds prettier every time I listen to it. Beautiful sunrise picture. You'll go far. A thousand mile journey begins with one step. Keep stepping. I love you, MomThanks guys (and girls)!Very cool song, very easy on the ears. Cool lyrics, nice vocals and guitar. Writing songs is always a great release ;) Take care and keep on a rockin.
~strummergurl~Wow!
Thank you so much Khris for your feedback, it means a lot to me. Being as how I'm not playing live anymore this kind of response is what I hope for and you made my day (shoot, you made my YEAR!).
I appreciate the time you took to listen and let me know how you feel about my music. Thanks again and I'm glad you enjoy my tunes!
