In February 1999, three longtime friends from West Texas went to a pizza place in Austin, Texas, for a prearranged meeting with a young man from Illinois. The Illinoisan had just moved to Austin, and he had put up a flyer that caught the interest of the others. They ate pizza and discussed movies and arcana. They also decided to meet the next day with their various instruments (two guitars, bass, and drums). This happened, and over the coming months they picked a band name, then picked a better band name, then wrote and recorded an album. That album, called How Strange, Innocence, was largely out of tune, but the band members didn't really notice at the time. They optimistically printed 300 copies, and gave most of them away. It turned out they really liked playing together, so they kept doing so. A friend of theirs sent a recording of one of their live shows to a record label in Baltimore, and that label offered to put out albums for the band. The band agreed.

Adventure: noun - An exciting or noteworthy event that one experiences firsthand. I love adventure. Whether it be in nature, a story, or music; I am so fond of uncovering the unknown. My favorite part of music, and particularly jazz, is that you never know exactly where it will go or where it will take you. There is always some amount of mysticism when you embark on that journey. So this is my goal as a musician, composer, and band leader: to take you on an adventure.
