Artist description I'm a songwriter, I can't help it. It's what I do. I write hard rock and classical stuff and then arrange it and record it. The rock stuff I play with Baked Beans - the band I am in. We are loud, sloppy, and unrepentant! We love to jam and explode songs, often to twice their original length. I play guitar, jump around, and break two strings a night.

Music Style Hard Rock that's built for the guitar with a heavy emphasis on jamming

Musical Influences The Who, Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton (Cream, Derek & The Dominoes), Jane's Addiction, Miles Davis, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Stravinsky, Beethoven

Similar Artists The Who and Weezer, but mostly myself (however, I am very unpopular)

Artist History I'm from Texas, but I've been here in California for a long time. I started writing songs at 15, and playing guitar at 14. I started singing at 6. I played in loads of high school/college bands at loads of high school/college parties all of which featured my brother, Mike. I went to college and got a B.A. in Music, Theory Emphasis, Vocal concentration. I've played with good and bad bands over the last decade, all cover bands where I did a bad job covering other people's stuff and got tired of it about a year ago. Baked Beans are going to take my material, along with Greg's stuff (our bass player) to clubs in the Southern California area this fall.

Group Members Me, man. Baked Beans = Me and Greg and a new drummer every month!

Instruments I play: guitar, bass, drums, piano, keyboards, sing, program drums, bass, and other virtual instruments, as well as write and score for orchestra and smaller ensembles.
