LATEST NEWS: I joined a band!
I joined a band!!!
I recently had the good fortune of linking up with a group of amazing musicians. Our Band, "The Divebar Boombox," is taking off. The group was together for a while before I joined the bandleader, Todd Hartsell, as his vocal side-kick. Todd has been putting years of energy into this brainchild.
I am consistently amazed at the versatility and skill of our trained concert violinist gone rogue-fiddler, Melissa. Taka holds down the beat, while Joe plays the low notes on base and Yvan creates the ambiance with the keys and some occasional flute magic. John is a jack of all instruments, switching between Uke, Banjo, and who knows what. He plays a mean shaker too, people. I get to be the songbird. You may hear a peep out of my guitar now and again. Todd holds down the fort, channeling his years of drumming experience into his rhythm guitar and doing the majority of our managing duties, not to mention our video and audio editing.
​
Although our primary focus has been re-imagining timeless songs from a variety of eras and genres, we are also a group of songwriters and contribute original music to our
set-list.
​
Most importantly, I have never met a group of musicians that were more generous and down to earth. I'm really proud to be able to be a part of this group of people.
​
I am still creating new material of my own that I will feature on this site and in my other feeds, but I wanted to share my excitement over this current project. Check it out!

Coming to you from the shed. Listen to thoughts and melodies that are fifteen years in the making. Blood, sweat and tears over ice with a salty twist of fate.
