i'm fatally awkward at all the wrong times. i like to smile. i believe in magic and prophecy. i spend most of my time with my heart and soul, Daphne Glover. i rock the bass guitar in Brazen Hussy and The Cassingles. i serve beer and wine tuesday and wednesday nights and sometimes fridays at the Dutch Tavern on Green Street in New London. I run a non-profit called New London Music Fest that puts on concerts throughout the city including Traditions & I AM Festival. I run a record label called Cosmodemonic Telegraph that has released records by The Can Kickers, Quiet Life, Incognito Sofa Love, Ringers, Brazen Hussy, Fatal Film and more. I also spearhead a small imprint called Hozomeen Press that has released more than 50 books of poetry prose and art over the years. I recently ran two non-profit arts spaces called T>A>Z and Secret Theatre that put on rock shows, puppet shows, plays, poetry readings and more - I'm working with a crew of peeps to see if we can't start a new space soon!
