Very cool background on this artist. I can appreciate the artistry. I would describe it as old world imagery with modern messages and classic rock sensibilities.

Best of luck, PJ

Sorry to read that your bass player left. i think he made a mistake, if he quit. Your music is unique so i think you can find somebody great. i will ask around.

Good luck!

Dear KG ~

Thanks very much for the kind words and concern. However, the bass is covered! Andrew Cann is now doubling on keyboards and bass, John Paul Jones' style.

Best thoughts!

Don't you have any plans to perform in Japan? I'm so impressed with the design of your website, as well as your music, and a great fan of music (rock, pop, classic, whatsoever)!

Stopping by on a friend's recommendation. Cool stuff. Looking through your venue listings I see you played NY at Downtime. Haven't been there, but you can play other places. Look in the Voice. Link included.

Hope to hear you guys, live!

I noticed that you played solo at a winery called Twin Oaks. Sorry I missed it! Hope to hear you and your band or trio, sometime soon!
