Maneuvering through the hazy blanket of Portland music, this artist offers a window to his thoughts on melancholy rockers and sparse acoustic tunes. All of it is fleshed out with wall-to-wall production and varied instrumentation.

Details:
He lives in Portland, Oregon and has for some time. He has a day job downtown, a house on the east side, a studio in the basement. He has a knack for penning inspired pop songs, the charm to be unassuming about it. He has been doing this music thing for quite a while now. There was his stint on Geffen Records as the singer/songwriter-type in the late â90s. Following that, he spent roughly five years heading up and down the west coast, playing shows, recording three albums with the Portland-based indie rock outfit the Bella Fayes. Add to that another year or so for gathering his thoughts, writing and recording a new album on which he plays most every single instrument and pulling together a fine collection of local talent to back him up live, and you have the rough story up to the present.
