Long ago there was a boy who went commercial fishing with my Father, leaving the safety of the Monterey Bay (California) and off into the wilds of the Pacific Ocean. Always humming melodies that got stuck in my Dad’s head, it became clear while growing up I had a knack for melodies. After many ocean journeys, a life amongst the saltiest of the saltiest sailors, sharks, mermaids and even near death experiences at sea myself, I was inspired to write songs about all life as I experienced it on my own. The lyrics would have a naturally nautical leaning heavily salted with experience on the ocean and up and down the West Coast. After some years singing as frontman for a melodic punk band, I searched long and hard for a crew and retinue of mermaids that took a decade to find and the years payed off, even after a quick visit to Davey Jone’s locker and back! Now that boy is a man or rather a musical captain as it were, The Captain, now setting sail for high seas musical adventure, should you dare to join Me!  For fans of Pixies, Weezer, Nirvana, Jimmy Eat World, blink-182, Green Day, Queen, The Cars, Blondie, Twenty One Pilots and more.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
