Postcards from the Funny Farm
↑ Grab this Headline Animator I'm a singer/songwriter based out of the High Desert in Southern California.I have been recording, playing guitar and singing in bands since I turned 13 in 1983, and I've remained 13 ever since (it's a freak of science). After strong runs with bands through high school in college with bands such as "The 63 Lipless Fish" which I fronted and produced, I went solo as an acoustic act in 1995. As a solo performer, I play a Martin triple-o guitar and showcase my tunes at local venues in his high desert area. With a following of fans made of friends, co-workers, and people who just like good music, I play live occasionally throughout the year and write about my shows here at Myspace and on my blog at Postcards from the Funny Farm I have written a slough of original songs through the years, but the ones that have withstood the test of time are the ones I keep in my set. With those, I include modern rock favorites the likes of which you'd hear on American Pop top 40 lists. Click this link to hear a bunch of my songs on MP3 format.Now at 38, I no longer strive for mystic record deals or massive fan appeal . . . I concern myself more with my career as a public school teacher and being a dad to my three kids.My gigs are always listed here on MySpace, so stay tuned. Background from flickr user |
