Welcome to my website. That's me playing my Fender Toronado at Jammin' Java in Vienna, Virginia. I particularly like this shot because I was at my thinnest, and I've always thought that brick is the ideal backdrop for a band.
My dream is to make my living performing my own music. I'm still working on that, but toward that end, I've written several songs that I perform regularly with my band The MSJ Project. We play all of my original tunes and a wide assortment of cover tunes by Hendrix, Cream, CCR, Van Morrison, and several other classic rock bands.
For our first order of business, we went into the studio and made a live recording of the originals - that is we set up as a band, turned on the tape, and played; we did not lay down one track on top of another as is often how music is recorded. The result is a CD that sounds like we truly sound when we play out.
Here's a link to the CD where you can hear short clips of each tune and, of course, buy our CD.
We also have a MySpace page where you can hear several of our songs from start to finish.
I have recently teamed up with Kelly Markin in a two-man acoustic-electric configuration. We are best suited to smaller gatherings, coffee houses, bookstores, and similar venues where electric-acoustic music is preferred. We play our own originals and a wide variety of popular acoustic tunes. We call this ensemble Jones 'n' Markin.
