I write, record, edit, produce, sing and play the guitar, ukulele, or whatever else I may need to do so I can sleep at night.

My latest projects include:

The Highly Extraordinary Improvisational Thoughts a.k.a. T.H.E. I.T.s -  with Poet and multi-instrumentalist Adrian Bocanegra Combs of Bocanegraz, Guitarist Evan Lewis, and myself, on Bass, Guitar, Production, and other instruments.  This project is pure improvisational poetry and rock and roll chaos...

The Keepers - with Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Rondo Beutler, Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist/Keyboardist John Buckleman, Harmonica Player Extraordinaire Bradly Beaulieu, the lovely Raga on Percussion, and myself, on the Bass.  This project is folk/blues/pop-based tunes and the material is our own quirky and organic renditions of original songs and covers.

Mr. Frosty and the MFs is primarily myself, but occasionally with the help of a friend or two..  I play guitar and bass - and am attempting to learn the keyboard, banjo, and how to sing.  I enjoy composing music and learning how to write better songs - as well as producing evocative instrumental pieces.   Artistically, I would like to create sonic soundscapes that blend rock/ funk/ country/ blues/ R&B/ metal/ punk/ classical/ psuedo- folk jazz/ quasi-electronica EDM and free form improvisation . 

Currently, I am using SoundCloud to demo some of my ideas - and, to elicit constructive feedback on how to make better recordings and compositions.  They are a bit funky and quirky because my musical and technical skills are lacking in many areas - and, I am working with second rate equipment at the moment.....  Any advice that helps me in this endeavor  is welcomed...  I have greatly appreciated all the kind feedback that the Soundcloud community has offered me.  Thank You!

My latest artistic collaboration is with Adrian Bocanegra Combs as The Highly Extraordinary Improvisational Thoughts a.k.a. T.H.E. I.T.s
Check Us Out on Soundcloud!!!!

Also, The Keepers too!!!  Coming to local Santa Cruz venues soon!!

It really is just such a joy for RawC to have music be a part of his life.  It all started with his dad's record collection and has carried on from mix tape to mix tape to getting on the decks.

The Highly Extraordinary Improvisational Thoughts
 a.k.a. T.H.E. I.T.s are:

Poet Adrian Bocanegra Combs of Bocanegraz, Guitarist, Bassist, Composer John T. Wood of Mr. Frosty and The MFs, and Guitarist Evan Lewis

The project started in early 2013 as the collaborative endeavor by guitarist/bassist/arranger/producer John T. Wood of Mr. Frosty And The MFs and poet/vocalist Adrian Bocanegra Combs of Bocanegraz. The two met while taking a sustainable building class at Cabrillo College in Apto's CA. They soon struck up a friendship centered around their mutual interest in music and improvisation.  Evan Lewis joined us in our endeavor in 2016 and is a most welcome addition to our cause.  From The Board is our first collaborative effort with Evan and special guest drummer Rob Bennett.

The primary goal of the project is to put music to the trove of words Adrian produces in a quirky and spontaneous manner that verges on musically accessible pop and rock themes while still retaining elements of spoken word performance - and, the free flow of subversive symbolic elements in the listeners consciousness as they struggle to assimilate the unexpected juxtaposition of linguistic and literary references. The bands demo CD project "Pretty Damn Crazy" is the first attempt at this.

I made all these songs on my phone pre 2022

Been in bands since I was 14, like all kinds of music, but I like to make more experimental music than anything else. I also host Into The Unknown on Mixcloud.
