The Lybertarians
As a copy editor & film student, my hours are bizarre -- too bizarre, really, to get a functioning band going. So I have this one-person bluesy-rock project. I compose all the music and record it, mix it, etc. This is a riffy, British-sounding blues project with some occasionally experimental overtones.
I absolutely cannot sing, so for now there are no vocals. I would love to expand this work in the future, but, for now, this is about as good as it gets for me.

Anything else?
Yeah. I know I'm not a virtuoso. But I love music too much not to record & take a try at playing blues.
