About Me |
|
| i play in a band called Family Tree with Lexi Lee and Kevin Klein. we like to hug a lot and sometimes Lexi bakes cookies for people at our shows and then we get great big family hugs! the songs on this page and the songs on the EP are what i recorded earlier, before playing with Family Tree. because of the positive spirit of Family Tree I have put these old songs to rest and have embraced a renaissance. i am more of a writer than a musician. i am influenced by good poetry and lyrically driven music. i daydream twice as much more than all humans i'm aware of. without coffee i'd go off the deep end. the demo/EP: i call it "morning coffee, midnight wine" because that's kind of what the music sounds like to me. i don't do music for money, so i've given out a lot of CD's and i will continue to give them out to whoever wants one. Everyone is my brother and my sister. | |
