A cello has found itself in my hands for eight years and apparently likes it there. They are (my hands) classically trained but also improvisational. I sing, play the guitar, and occasionally pick up whatever weird instrument I can including ukulele and erhu. The most interesting part of it is, I study Graphic Design. And I am part of a twinship, with my twin, Chloe. Anything else? Ah, music is a PASSION, not merely a hobby.

Great Waves officially began in an old portable converted classroom at Pine Lake Middle School. Paul (bass) told his desk-mate Will (guitar) that he could "play bass and sing real good... Chris Cornell style." Although Paul never quite backed up his claim, the two became friends and over the years played in several bands together. After adding Ashley on lead vocals and later Ryan on drums, they found collaborators that pushed the band to become greater than the sum of its parts. With a little help from friend David Bahr and lead by Ashley’s dreamy vocals, Great Waves plays a unique blend of alternative rock and folk, that has been likened to everything from Allison Krauss to The Pixies.

Counter Chain is an indie band from Waxahachie, Texas that plays an odd mix of folk and punk. The rebels of the 60s played folk, and the rebels of the 70s played punk. Counter Chain lays foundation in these two great movements, but there’s no shortage of other influences put together to give Counter Chain it’s unique sound. Counter Chain has many members who come and go and come back; a sort of ramshackle orchestra. We started playing in 2007.
