/.present/
As a session musician I'm involved with a lot of various musicians. But as for projects I really consider myself _part_ of that's different.

Project::in•fin•i•ty [ myspace ]
My 'primary' personal project. An ever growing collection of musical oddments - many (okay MOST) unfinished. Mostly on the electronica or abstract side though increasingly centered around some sort of tonality. So far it's all just me.

James Bradford [ home | myspace ]
A duo at the moment - James sings, I play. I'd love to call it a gay Tuck and Patti but I know I'm no Tuck. Mostly acoustic rock with many touches of R&B. We first met for the filming of VH1/LOGO's series "Can't Get a Date" in which he was the star and I was his guitarist.

the bootLICKERS [ home | myspace ]
The boots have been through a vast number of line-up changes though we seem to have solidified for the moment as a trio. John McNeil is the lead singer/songwriter, June Bromley on drums, and me on bass. Indie rock with a bit of country and punk. Fun and randy but sometimes serious and melancholy.

/.past/
I hate to try and pick out which were my main bands in my past but... I suppose the following were all very influential in their own ways.

Fen
The first band I was in. Formed some time in college. We did all of two shows and lasted all of a semester at most. Half Moon Bay was premiered in this band, tho.

The second band I was in. I was on bass and lead vocals. This actually was intended to be the early formation of P::i but it took on a different edge and ... well, not much to say. We recorded 2 EP's but only performed live once. Or sort of one half time on my senior recital. Unfortunately Chuck had to be in LA during the recital so we pared it down to just John (on guitar) and me on vocals and bass/guitar.

Ego<is>him [ soundclick ]
One of my most off-the-wall ventures to date. Jhon - a spoken word artist - and I joined forces for a Bearapalooza in NYC but took off and did a number of cafe/odd gigs and just sorta ran with it. Alas it imploded before too long. Though we did do gigs in Boston and DC as well as the NYC ones.

*V*I*R*G*O* [ home | myspace ]
Electronica meets dark synth pop. Edgy and often subversive. It was my primary band during my NYC years though *V* was the mastermind behind it all.

Freddy Freeman and the Free Men [ home | myspace ]
Freddy my dear friend and one-time roommate. We've done so many gigs together both officially as the Free Men and unofficially as some ... well whatever it's been at the time. He's always been strongly folk/pop and has been going very country these days.

Other Links
Obviously there are a number of other musicians I have worked with and collaborated with. I can't begin to name them all but I will compile a list of people/links to check out.
