People I’ve made music with

Rewind was a Seattle-area ‘80s cover band with whom I played guitar from 2007-2010. All the classic synth-pop you remember. Hungry Like the Wolf? We were, at a club near you.

I played bass with Careless Hearts (Americana/rock) from 2005-2006, and on our self-titled album. Also sang a little backup and wrote one track on the album.

I played bass with The Sound Effect (pop covers, parties, weddings, etc.) from 2005-2006. Also sang a little backup, and some lead on songs the singer hated.

I played in an acoustic duo at Stanford from 2005-2006; as you can see we never got far enough to have a logo or a name. We did, however, rock the lively Stanford engineering grad student music scene.

I sang baritone/tenor/percussion for the Stanford Harmonics a cappella group from 2000-2001, and on our album Phonoshop.

I played guitar for Stinter in high school (~1995). Stinter was – and remains – the legitimate worst band on the Internet.
