Background

Since April 24, 1998, when I saw NOFX play at the Trocadero on the So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes tour, punk has sculpted a huge majority of my personality, beliefs, and interests. Every single one of my friends, hobbies, and passions has slept on punk rock’s couch.

Solid Friend happened organically when some promo-art collaborations with my best bud gradually evolved into booking, pitching, tour management, and saying “I got you” to every opportunity to help bands.

I do standup comedy at Fest every year, perform at record release shows and record label showcases and festivals, interview my musician friends, burn all my PTO going to shows, and 100% of the art projects and memes I make (including the Punk Rock Fortune Teller) are inspired by the bands I care about most.

This shit is my life!
