Fun Facts
After graduating from PSU in 2001 I played in a band full-time until 2005. We played everywhere from Killington, VT to Key West, FL, and played festivals with bands like Jimmy Eat World, Reel Big Fish, Violent Femmes, and Wilco. I have a collage at GameFa
I currently have a music project called Your Friend's Band. It's like live band karaoke but with all the instruments up for grabs too. If you've ever dreamed about playing music with your kid's tutor, this could be your chance.
