The best band that I was ever a part of with my good friend and writing partner Derek Carpenter. We were at our height in the 2000's. We created some great music and had a blast doing it. Back before the internet took over everything. We were making CD's and selling them. I really miss those days, but I have all of this great music to let you folks listen to. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Clowncar Songs

These are songs from my previous band where I was one of the main songwriters. I played most of the instruments on these recordings. My friend and fellow member Derek Carpenter played keyboards, bass, and mandolin on these tunes. These were all written by me.  Unfortunately I couldn't put more songs on as they were written my Derek, or Derek and I together. Out of respect I just used my songs. These are great tunes from another time. Back in 2013-2017. The band was called "Clowncar". It was a Sci-Fi Rock Band and we wrote songs about that theme. We had lots of fun writing this material and playing it live. I thought It should be shared with the world. Please enjoy.

The Guardian

This is a collection of songs that I wrote for my band "Clowncar" from 2014-2016. My fellow bandmate Derek Carpenter played bass on most tracks and added backing vocals as well. These songs hold a warm place in my heart. This was a time when I was involved in something truly original and creative. Writing songs about what we loved "SCI-FI" and honestly not giving a shit if anyone liked it or not. We had tons of fun. I hope you enjoy these songs as well.

In Time

This is another collection of songs from the band "Clowncar" that I and my good friend Derek Carpenter created in the 2000's. We had songs about sci-fi themes, and all kinds of fun stuff. I can honestly say that this was some of the best and most creative music that I was a part of. The band has been on hiatus since around 2017. Derek and I are still talking about doing a third album. This is something that we are very, VERY proud of. No one sounded like us.
