This Side Up Band

I'm writing this bio myself 'cause I wanna express the truth… right from the heart. I love music, been playing since I was 10. I love writing and arranging tunes, building a mood with words, finding the groove, getting in the pocket with my bro's… just making the hole thing mesh, you know… work. This Side Up works for me. I was in my first band in '67, did the local scene, studio work, taught drums for awhile, and played with a lot of talented musicians… what a long strange trip it's been.
I guess you could call me a rugged individualist who expresses a certain savagery in my bass licks. Beneath a quiet and somber exterior, my desire is to use unique styling's to leave no one untouched. I try to write music that is deep and thoughtful, I want my lyrics to bring pause and thought. I sometimes display a dark and serious spirit that rages malevolently through the gentle breeze. Beneath it all lies a willing spirit. Send me a note
