Jeffrey Bützer & The Bicycle Eaters

Jeffrey Bützer is a composer and multi-instrumentalist who has released several albums and played around the world.  Members of his band, the Bicycle Eaters, include myself on guitar, Eric Balint (also Book of Colors) on percussion, and Kristin Haverty on cello.  Our first 7" record will be released March 31, 2012.  A track from the upcoming record can be downloaded at our bandcamp site.

Vipers & Adders

Vipers & Adders is a rock band formed by myself on guitar, bass, and vocals, Nick Bazemore on vocals and guitar, Brad Mattocks on bass, guitar, and vocals, and Sean Zearfoss (also of Small Reactions and Places) in 2009.  Our debut album, "Return to Light", was released in 2011.  The album can be streamed and purchased (name your own price) at our bandcamp site.


Sorry no Ferrari

 Sorry no Ferrari was an instrumental progressive rock band active from 2004 to 2011.  It was founded by myself on guitar, Drew Mobley on bass, Drew Bacon on guitar, and Justin Smith on drums.  That lineup recorded our first ep and Drew Bacon and Justin were replaced by Brett Kelly (current Tealights) and Sonny Harding respectively.  After recording our second ep, we went through a couple of drummers until we hit our stride with Jonathan "JB" Balsamo (current Palaces).  We recorded our first full length album "Ternary" on Stickfigure Records to some acclaim.  So much extra work was done on the recording our very dear friend Nick Pantano was added to the fold to fill in the extra space.  SnF toured throughout the east several times and got to play with some amazing bands.

The Squares

The Squares was an instrumental surf band active from 1995 to 2002.  It was founded by myself on guitar, Jeff Patterson (RIP) on bass, and Morgan Hobbs on drums.  Jeremy Osborne was added shortly thereafter on lead guitar.  Roughly a year later Jeff was replaced by Matt Benard and a sax player, Tim, was also added.  That line-up recorded a cassette demo.  The Squares later parted ways with Tim and recorded "Teenage Surf Madness!!!" in 1999.  In 2001, our swan song "Eight Songs" was released.
