I'm a dorky singer with a sense of pitch that is both a blessing and a curse. Lately I've been singing a lot of jazz and old country, but I'm down to give pretty much anything a go so long as it's not too screamy. Also, I play the didgeridoo, for whatever that may be worth. After having a couple of opportunities to be involved in other people's projects, I have gotten a taste for it and would love to come up with some lush, layered harmony vocals for anyone who might need such things.

Singers/Bands that I've listened to far too much over the years:

Fiona Apple, Grant-Lee Phillips, Hem, Patsy Cline, Fourtet, Andrew Bird, Dosh, tUnE-yArDs, The Court and Spark, Michael Penn, Eels, Pomplamoose, The Bird and the Bee, Elliott Smith, Jon Brion, Cake, Goldfrapp, more showtunes than I care to admit, Aimee Mann, Ben Folds, Tom Waits, Amon Tobin, Johnny Cash, Jason Webley, Michael Miller, Nick Drake, Starlight Mints. And, naturally, plenty of Beatles. It's necessary to keep it ecclectic, though I do gravitate toward pretty, melodic things, both for listening and participating in.
