Ever since I picked up a bass, I've written songs.

This isn't a mass-produced...instrument. Mike Lull Custom Guitars makes each bass right here in the NW. Over 20 years of collaborating, designing, and building basses has gone into my model.

There really is a certain magic that happens when you're in the studio. And it's important in life to feel that magic: to feel that there is something greater moving all this along.

I've been interested in Eastern religions since I went to college because I was trying to figure out where I stood with Catholicism.

It was hard to figure out what were the good causes, the bad causes, even the good politics and the bad politics. So we started taking requests and figuring it out.

I played djembe, percussion, keyboards and I sang.
