One guy and his guitar, playing sharp, hard and to the point since 2005.  Unplugged, or barely plugged in?  No problem, either method works well for me.

My songs shoot down targets from idiot bosses to the idiot box, w/no tricks, no gimmicks and no frills. Some lyrical faves include Black Flag, D. Boon, Ian Hunter, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, and Joe Strummer, so if you like them, you know what the score is here!  Always looking for good driving distance shows, preferably of the punk variety (1-2 hours away: email for details).

In real life, I'm an author (Unfinished Business: The Life & Times Of Danny Gatton), freelancer for local and national newspapers 'n' magazines, and rock 'n' roll packrat/eBay seller (biggreenfrog2002's the name there).
