I learned guitar around the time I could legally drink. They go well together, wine and song. After experimenting with a lonely 4-track in college, I put together my first band in San Diego (The Marinators) with Dominic Carrillo and Matt Gross, two legendary men. Our one and only album is called Chicken Bone. We had lots of fun playing local dive bars, then played for a while in Italy before returning home and calling it quits. I kept recording with friends, first a record called homesicklovebound, followed by an EP, Muscle Through The Fat. Sometimes you gotta. In 2008, I made another record, All Things Pink, produced by myself and Italian-brother Don Gallardo, not just a gentleman but a fine songwriter. I felt this was the beginning of a different musical chapter so I decided to call the project Confessions Of A Corn Silo. Though I write and sing the songs, it's a collective effort which includes talented friends who make sweet love to their respective instruments. We've been fortunate to license a couple songs in the past year, one to an award-winning indie film, another one to a Fox Sports baseball documentary. Our debut, All Things Pink, is an eclectic, melodic, honest, mildly experimental group of songs. The second album, Stretches Of Concrete, marks the first time I've self-produced and it's weirder and more existential as I've included the things I think about daily: love, death, space, the futility of the mind, things like that. The new album is available now through direct mail order, itunes.com, cdbaby.com, & other sites. Raul Campos of KCRW (weeknights 10pm-12am, kcrw.com) was kind enough to play a track of ours recently which was a thrill. In the next few months, I'll be making my earlier albums available for those interested, going backwards in order I guess. Please do keep in touch!
