At concerts, I'm that head sticking above the crowd whom you want to hate (because he's blocking your view) but he looks so into the music that you can't help but think he must be an alright guy.
On the el, I'm the guy who has his nose buried in a different book every week, only looking up to grab a Moleskine out of his bag and scribble a random lyric.
In coffee shops, I'm the kid whose refill count edges dangerously close to the double-digits, and who watches the baristas to see what kind of machine they use and to examine their steaming/foaming technique.
On the streets of Chicago, I'm that guy who's always singing, humming, whistling or beatboxing to himself, who usually only stops when he notices people giving him weird, creeped-out looks.
Long story short, I love music. I love listening to it, writing it and playing it. I hope you like what you hear.
You can catch me every Monday night at the Uncommon Ground open mic (music starts at 8), and every Wednesday at the Fixx Coffee Bar open mic, hosted by my fate-twin, Heather Styka (music starts at 8:30). |
