I am an amateur songwriter and musician, recording under the band name "The Swarm" since 1990. I write out of personal need and pleasure. I'm not a vocalist by any means (it should be apparent!) but I sing my songs to complete them. I've been described as REM fronted by Lou Reed, but vocally all I hear is Lou Reed's dog.
My favorite guitarist is Johnny Marr, followed by The Edge. My favorite vocalist is Jeff Buckley. I like The Smiths, Joy Division, U2, Radiohead, Metallica, Ride, Catherine Wheel, The House Of Love, The Stone Roses, The National, Kent, Durutti Column, and many more. Elememnts of any and all might seep through my songs. Or maybe not.

I am currently recording a 5 song EP.  I am in search of a singer (contact me if you are interested).  I will be loading updated song demo's as I continue to go into the studio to record.  I am working with Producer Russel Weiner of Hi Wheel Entertainment.  I am currently playing all the instrumentation and will be accompanied by drummer Jack Mayer, founder of Mayer Bros. Drums.

This page includes a few completed songs from the past that won't be on the new EP.  I am singing on Run and Mourning Sun.  Jimmy Wellman is singing on Roses and Propane.  As noted above, these songs include the same producer and drummer, and I am playing almost all instrumentation.

Raised in San Pedro, CA. Love my three kids. Interests include the ocean, music, movies, books and baseball. Excellent cook! Just trying to make it through another day in peace and harmony! I like Rock n Roll , Blues, Zydeco, Reggae , Hip Hop, and Soul. My all time favs are Led Zeppelin, Los Lobos, Sublime, Bob Marley, Buckwheat Zydeco, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles(of course, Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson, Bob Dylan, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Hank Williams, Lynyrd Skynyrd, John Lee Hooker, Sheryl Crow.
