I have ate, slept, beat, practiced, rehearsed, night, day, in and out music since I can remember. I have missed more holidays, birthdays, celebrations and overall forgot about anyone or anything while being the practice NAZI. I was once labeled first among equals by a very special friend and GIGANTIC guitar player in the Austin area. I never wanted the notoriety or the sex and drugs. It was the love of the chill. Wood,wire and magnetism. Anyone can get laid and get high. I wanted to feel all that and more. I owe every single note, word, long, band and gig to someone. You know who you are. Thank you for allowing me to share the pedal and the wheel on these many rides. God bless, up the irons and bang that head that does not. Or when u come see us we'll dive on top of you!

News and information from an unabashedly Texas perspective. No matter where you are, you're on #TexasStandard time.

Welcome to School of Rock Austin —a haven for aspiring musicians who love rock n’ roll. A fixture in Austin that has served crowds of aspiring young rockers since 2005, we believe live performance is the most fun and effective way to teach an instrument. This is why we get kids playing on stage as quickly as possible.

We also believe that music is more than a solo act. That’s why School of Rock Austin teaches kids to play alone and as part of a team. This approach promotes accountability, speeds up the learning process, and fosters an inclusive community of rockers in Austin. Students are not only learning an instrument—they’re making friends, building confidence, and becoming better people.

These are all rough demos. Actual different versions to post soon, from the forthcoming full length record, produced by Mike McCarthy.

I like making songs and jewelry. My music Facebook page should have the most up to date info, apologies for not keeping up with the online world more!
