Me like music. There isn't anything really interesting about me, except...

KNOW THIS: When I look out into the crowd, and I see you dancing and enjoying our music... I am watching you. Silently judging you. I most likely have complete contempt for you and everything you stand for.

“Do what you will but harm none”.
Scott Finlayson

"Has anyone seen my keys... where are my keys?"
Height: 5' 15"

I've been drumming since I was 4-months old, I went to Berkley when I was 7 and graduated with honors by 9 years old. I toured extensively with Mahavishnu Orchestra until I was 11 and then took some time off to write a few operas and learn Clog Dancing.

I'm not sure Jay & Joe know what they signed-up for having me in the band. But truthfully, it's a blast playing with guys that have no boundaries and have as much talent as these two.

I have two belly buttons.

Thanks for checking out the AMT website. This is probably some of the best time you will ever spend on the web, so savor this moment!

I want to say thanks to everyone that comes out to the shows, we really appreciate the great support we get. *But please, do us and everyone else a favor and not scream out 'Freebird' it's very, very, very lame. Don't be that guy.

I have a great time playing with these two guys. Joe and I have been playing in bands together for a real long time now and I enjoy making his life a living hell as much now as I did 10 years ago! I have been playing bass for....wow....24 years. A bass with frets on it makes me sick! Fretless baby, Fretless.
