For the newcomers...
I started this project because I wasn't happy with where I was musically, which was playing alone at home with no real aim or direction. I'm a firm believer that music is something meant to be shared with others - both audiences and collaborators - and is supposed to be about expressing something (even if that expression is merely "bashing away on a guitar is just plain fun"). Sitting at home playing only for myself achieves neither of those things. It's easy, it's safe, it's comfortable... and it's pointless. I wasn't being creative, and I wasn't having any fun.
This project aims to fix that. I'm going to get back to sharing music with others. I'm going to push against my limits and grow. I'm going to force myself to become the musician I want to be.
