In the following four months or so, I joined two bands and began playing live at every possible opportunity: Teen centers, town halls, art spaces, motorcycle rides, homecoming festivals, you name it. The ride that began over a decade ago continues to this day, and the roller coaster just seems to be climbing higher and higher all the time. Read More
