If anyone tells you the gig will have a solid 24 karat gold PA system, they are lying. Don't figure that out the hard way.

I'm a central New Jersey keyboardist / pianist / organist / composer looking to collab / get some kind of band situation going.

I've played with the Roadside Graves for many years and prior had been in the short-lived Fun Machine

If in a rage, this is the best/worst song and version that you can possibly listen to. One of the most spirited and emotional performances I've ever heard, forever and ever. The crescendos! It's...the best

Setting up the rig with the Roadside Graves, opening for @themountaingoats.bsky.social back in 2018 at the Ardmore Music Hall in Ardmore, PA just 20 minutes on the SEPTA south of CONSHY! Was too nervous to say hello to @jonwurster.bsky.social, all-time top drummer and comedian supremo - much love!
