Bio

Hometown:

Dallas, TX

I am not a fan of the over-produced. Give me the powerful simplicity of singing and guitar with thoughtful lyrics, like Aimee Mann or Alejandro Escovedo. Sometimes I like to rock hard as well. King's X, Metallica, and Iron Maiden occupy space on iPod alongside Sufjan Stevens and Suzanne Vega.

I like the innovative and clever as well. Give me something good and creative that I have not heard before.

I am a product of the 80's (college radio, not top 40 pop schlock, was my thing back then), and my favorite album is U2 - The Joshua Tree. I am also a fan of the raw minimalism of the late 70's punk movement, which sadly I was too young to enjoy when it was at its height.
