AJ's site has a segement which features the following message: "Welcome to my "Solo Acoustic" site.
I needed a place for my own personal songs so I started this website up. This music is all acoustic and I would like to share it with you all. The pictures you see are from my main band Soil. I have been in Soil since November 2004. We are currently working on our next album for 2008. The songs are coming along great and we are all very excited about it!
Project DIESEL MACHINE is still in progress, not really sure when we'll actually have the time to finish it all. I'll let you know.
I have been working on my acoustic album but it is of course taking a back seat to the Soil record at this time. Keep checking back from time to time and I'll try to update things when I can."
