Musical Influences My Father (the Tubes), Dave Matthews, Toad the Wet Sprocket, REM, Crowded House, Sam Phillips, Thomas Dolby... I have recently gotten into Cuban music, and Flamenco. Absolutely beautiful. There is so much to see and hear out there, it doesn´t seem right to limit it to this little description, but that´s what we will do, so that´s what we will do.

Artist History ¨I started playing music when I was, I think, five or so. Well, actually I was playing the drums, which is sort of music, yeah, okay, sure why not music? About 13 years later I picked up my mom´s guitar, which was given to her by my dad incidentally, and taught myself a bunch of Beatles songs. I wasn´t too serious then. Now, I´ve bought two more guitars, and spend most of the day playing, practicing, writing. I love to write songs. This is what it is all about for me. Something new everytime, here´s how I feel, here´s what I said, will say, want to say, to tell you...just tell you anything! Who cares? Let´s live the moment, and love every minute of it.¨ Boone Spooner, at some point in time.
