It's a solo project with a full band sound. Influenced heavily by Bright Eyes, Brand New, Jimmy Eat World and Tegan and Sara.
Some folk elements, indie, country, and rock.
It was created in 2004 and has seen many different members, been based in several different cities in Ontario and toured the province into Quebec twice.
It's simple, honest and sincere music. My focus has changed lately, and I've started to really appreciate the community and just being a part of the music scene and the friends that go along with that more than anything else.

There have been 2 official releases so far..
If It Still Hurts - October 2005
- acoustic solo cd, pressed and sold at shows and on the tours
Gone Are The Days - February 2006
- acoustic based, full band. had an early Dashboard Confessional sound. It was released online only.
Both cds can be downloaded for free. Go to the blog on myspace and youll find links to them both. Feel free to download, share, etc. If you like it, I appreciate you listening.
I'm finishing up work on a third cd entitled "Ocean Eyes."
It should be out in the fall, and is by far the most ambitious release thus far. Recorded in an actual studio and featuring David Partridge on drums (formerly of The Stickup, on Verona Records). It's a lush record, far more ambitious than the previous releases.
Demos from Ocean Eyes are currently on myspace.
Thanks again :)
