About Ian       
    
     Blending gritty guitars, passionate lyrics, and heavy faith & emotion, Ian's songs evoke a sense of realism in a world drowned in drama. Refusing to follow the current trends, Ian's chooses to write songs of strength, determination, and self-reliance.

     In addition to playing countless coffee shop performances in the Ann Arbor area over the last decade, Ian has also performed and recorded with the post-grunge bands Asphyxia and Scrub, and more recently with alternative rockers outta the belly. His solo work has received lots of press (mostly good!) and been featured in rock magazines like Italy's "Slam!" and "Heaven's Metal" in the U.S.

     Ian's new album, Apathetic Sunday, hearkens back to a time when music was more than just a product or mp3 download. From the heavy, grungry sound of opening track "Apathy" to the meloncholy, acoustic "Scales," Apathetic Sunday is filled with emotion and determination.

     In 2004, Ian married Purple Kitty guitarist Sherry Dornbush (now Hafner), and has occasionally filled in on drums for Purple Kitty. 

     Ian has a deeply rooted faith in Jesus Christ, and his faith is reflected in his lyrics and music. Ian won't shove the Gospel down anyone's throat, but he will share God's message of love with anyone who wants to hear it.
