Recorded:
Cristina Bautista - Songs, singing, guitars, bass, keys.
Chris Thompson-Pratt - Percussive excellence.
And on the forthcoming record:
Phillip Peterson - Hella cello, bass, git-cello, trombone, trumpet, Rhodes, drum machine clams, etc.
Eric Howk - Heartwarming/facemelting guitar and apparently also mandolin.
Mark Gajadhar - Drums!
Garrett Lunceford - Even more drums!
Kirk Huffman - Still more drums!
Kyle O'Quin - Piano and also... yep, you guessed right, more drums!
I play a little bit of harp on it, too, but not like Joanna Newsom. Sorry.
Live: Cristina Bautista and Chris Thompson-Pratt and maybe hopefully also you someday.

I'm currently making my first full-length record EVER with half of the most amazing people I know. Tracking is done and it sounds really good. I think you will like it.

See, now I'm curious -- anyone who feels SO bad about THEIR long-winded bio that they read the entirety of mine has wrought some kind of evil. How can I find it? I wanna read it. Only fair, right? Also, the bio on your Music page is like Hemingway: breviloquent and tragic. When reading it, I hurt FOR your left foot, and the stated inevitability of it falling asleep, while not without sly humor, exemplifies the underlying fatalism of the piece. Hey, wow, neat, that started out a comment on your "about me" section and ended up a Radiohead album review. Seriously, though, have you tried one of those Sleep Number beds with the adjustable hardness, or maybe one of those ones that folds up? I don't suggest buying one, they cost as much as a new car -- maybe just sneak into one of their stores and fall asleep. I figure you can do it at LEAST four times before they put up signs. That's how long it took with me. Oh, and Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players? Hell yeah.
