Music
​
One of my favorite things is writing songs, playing acoustic guitar and singing.
The New Developments was a funk, rock (and some jazz) band that I played drums in as well as background vocals. We played a mix of original and cover songs and I got to sing lead on a few of them. the band lasted from around 2017-2025. This seven song album of original music was recorded in November 2023. I also wrote or helped write a fair share of the songs. On the album, my songs are Elijah C. and Fall Backwards.
Eco-Bombs was a short-lived three piece punk/rock band that I played electric guitar, sang(screamed) and wrote the songs in. Howareya!
Maywoods is an Americana/Rock band from Berea that I played drums and sang some back-ups in. Marc Reyes who is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist, wrote most of the songs, I contributed three. on the album they are Spiral, H.W. Coover and Voices.
Honey and the Bee was a kid's music duo from Berea that I played in with Katie Gardner. She played ukulele and sang and I played acoustic guitar, kazoo, sang and wrote the songs (except for a few covers we threw in). We played at many different libraries and children's events around Kentucky.
The Pure Plastic Tree was an acoustic band (plugged in) in Dayton that had two different versions. the first version consisted of acoustic guitar, upright bass, a vocalist who played some percussion and I played a snare drum, tom and cowbells standing up. Think Violent Femmes with a female singer and less angst. In the second version, we had a new male singer who added some acoustic guitar and banjo, a violinist, and I switched to playing a small drum kit. The first version's album is on YouTube and the second version's album is on Spotify. There is also a band interview on YouTube, I was cool as shit!
