The RPM Challenge - Seth Fortin

Seth Fortin Profile Page

About

Description:	I'm in Iraq, so my resources are limited, but I've got a keyboard and GarageBand and a USB mic. I also badgered a couple of people into playing guitar and violin on a couple of tracks. As for what kind of music it is -- it's a completely mixed bag, folk and rock and jazz and hip-hop and whatever else appealed to me. The lyrics are small vignettes of life on a military installation in Iraq.
Group Members:	Just me, mostly. Violin by Josh Maxwell, guitar by Luke Giannini, as noted below. Would have liked to use them more, but time was short.
