Bio:
Silence is the eloquent expression of the inexpressable, the next closest thing to expressing the inexpressable is music.

Writing about music, the bands, and the musicians has become my therapy. There’s so much good music on the local scene and so many bands that are overlooked. I enjoy writing about them and giving them a voice, letting the masses know that they’re out there. I stress diversity in music. You can’t just get locked up in one genre, you’d miss to much. You have to get out and experience all of it.

We don’t stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing.

Favorite Local Bands:
The Inactivists, Elliott Moonshine And The Ghost, Minor Note Orchestra
