About Me:

I am a one man band. Currently I have a bass player, also, and sometimes a harp player, so that makes us a duo. Voodoo Panther, to be exact. Its a raw, nasty, swampy, down-home mutation of the blues, to be sure.
But that's what I like. All my heroes miss notes , and so do I. its real. Likewise, my artwork is all done with sharpie on cardboard. ...once again, there's no rewinding, or erasing anything.

I suppose I'm in total rebellion against all things status quo. ...and shiny bland recordings, with auto tune, and quantization, just suck. ...as does photoshopped band art.

I just wanna make something real,
something the people can feel,

and I think that my new cd, "Voodoo Panther" is just that. Check out some of the songs on my myspace page, and look for us on tour in 2009.
