Ishmael; something something rock band. Weaving strange currents and patterns, three old friends make crispy music in New York City, all while smiling. Ishmael is the only band on Batman’s iPod.

Praise for Ishmael:

"Ishmael is the kind of band with such a unique sound that even if you don't love them, you have to respect them for being original in a sea of cookie cutter bands." - Musical Mathematics

"The band of Andy Werle, Aaron Silberstein and Nick Otte have produced one of the standout works of the year. This album has everything, virtuoso performances, sterling production and superlative songwriting... what can simply be described as post-rock perfection" - Florshime Zipper Boots

“When the mystical four-piece unites, they churn out stadium-sized instrumental workouts, replete with tangling guitar spirals, soaring vocals, melodic left turns, and grooves that you could dance to if you wanted. (That is, if you weren’t too busy head banging.)” – The Wesleyan Argus

"Ishmael really opened things up. With each passing moment you could notice the level of excitement on the dance floor. Ishmael is a 3 piece indie band based out of NYC with a vision to go beyond the ordinary. The Aim: Euphoric. The Delivery: Exemplary. Ishmael’s lead vocals combined with the ability to navigate through their music’s tight turns such as time signatures and intricate melodies left the crowd lost in the gray area between head-banging and dancing."
- Grateful Web

“The band: Ishmael. The keywords: Variety, Talent, Originality. The verdict: See them live.” – The Quad (BU)

For nearly a decade, electronic reggae-dub innovators Jon Wayne and The Pain have been crafting a unique sound, one that features a mesmerizing blend of modern age electronic beats fused with upbeat traditional roots reggae and a fresh layer of grooving funk to keep the soul moving in all the right ways. The Twin Cities-based ensemble burst onto the festival scene in 2007 following their debut self-titled album, and has since built a highly devoted following through multi-dimensional jamming, extensive touring and influential songwriting. Inscrutable and unpredictable, Jon Wayne and The Pain’s cutting edge style has taken them across the nation to some of the country's biggest music festivals including Electric Forest, Summer Camp, Cali Roots and Wakarusa. Their transcendent live performances and fluid chemistry has propelled them to forefront of reggae music, and with an ever-changing musical paradigm it is evident that this Midwestern quartet is an absolute force to be reckoned with.


I am a songwriter.
My songs genres vary, so if ones not to your taste try another!
My dream is for someone to DO one of my songs. Hope springs eternal eh?.
