Welcome to Priestunes... Under Perpetual Construction
Some tunes and cover tunes, played in bars or barns:
I'll place tunes here and try to keep them rotating. Check back and download as much as you like. Here is where I will post gigs that I may one day again play but as of yet is empty, thus not an active link: Calendar
Here is a comic, if you like.... It's the only comic on the whole site!!! Every site needs a comic. I did this while being paid to be technical editor. It was a challenging job and this was done during a break. Swear it! Comic
Or you can go to my News section and write some... No news is good news.
Audio
Live--A track from an upcoming release of guitar for headphones, Without Knowing Why. This album is mainly ambient in nature, ala Aphex Twins or Brian Eno, but will feature some other things that are not in that category. Expect to release it by April of 2008.
Breathe--featuring Skeeto Valdez on drums, Chuck Bartels on bass, and Paul Priest on vocals and guitar. These and any other tunes with these two were recorded live in 2006, St. Paddy's Day. Skeeto is a world-class guy and drummer all at once. Chuck is a monster on the bass but as gentle as they come. Great guys, lots of fun doing this gig.
Ten Foot Pole--featuring Ken Tragenza on drums and Brian Bates on bass. Ken moved to Austin, Texas where, I hear, he's just as bad (in the awesome sense) down there as he was in the great North. Brian is a pianist by trade but represents on the bass righteously.

bio...
I'm from Detroit, but live in Chicago now. I make music that some people like.
Tunes to the left were recorded in between present and early 2004 with different players: I've added some content after the tracks. Check back if you'd like to hear more: I'll rotate the tracks.
When not recording, I walk, run, spend time with my family, and read.
I made an album co-produced with Robert Keeley, using his pedals on a number of instruments. I worked with The Brothers Groove and the Motor City Horns. Check it out here: the Keeley Effect.
