I've been in two bands, one which tried to fuse pop and bluegrass and another that was very "doom-metalish." My influences are vast and range from tribal music to Wagner to Android Lust to Pink Floyd to Nevermore. Though I am a guitarist of about 20 years, I am primarily a songwriter. I have spent the last 8 years or so getting my act together and learning to write songs again.
