Artist History salem is a demo solo project of sorts..but it would not have been possible without the assistance in recording and guitar work by danny godinez. the song many have tried was recorded when i was in the goods and dedication when i was in third world county(www.3rdwc.com) after fifteen years of recording and performing as a drummer and singer in groups, salem merges songs and studies. i have played on the east coast with brave new world in my UVM years studying when BNW would play above phish at the border, they would play at Nectar's..after transplanting to seattle with bassist bob hoar(SF. mumblin jim), we began playing in seattle and throughout the west coast in groups such as sole purpose, confucius slim, the goods, lara lavi, the omar torrez band(www.omartorrez.com), the paperboys(www.paperboys.com), silly rabbit, talking box, cornucopia, the danny godinez band(www.dannyband.com), paradigm, third world county(www.3rdwc.com), kellee bradley(www.mp3.com/kellee), charles certain, and other recording artists. i play regularly with danny godinez, the paperboys and paradigm. i appreciate your comments..peace
