My Music Sounds Like

I listen and play just about all types of music. I have a love for good old fashion, kick you-in your-teeth, garage-punk and roots music.

I'm with various side projects as well as write music for 'myself' and have been known to be a "hired gun" here and there for various bands and projects.

Most of the loops or songs that I'll put in here are in the "music for myself" category.
