I'm a musician. A songwriter and producer. I play several instruments and sing. I have a project with some Brazilian musicians going on now. (www.themidoestes.com) It's cool.

I'm traveling all summer so I can't accept guests at this time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I must find places for our band to crash this Summer! Also Couchsurfing is awesome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped my girlfriend make it through the tragic death of her dog. It was very sad.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about the history of the Murder Ballad, or how to write self therapeutic blues lyrics. I can show you some strategies for microphone placement, or I can teach you how to learn to play any music groove instantaneously.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will regale you with boring stories. Better though, my Brazilian friends will entertain you with Samba.
