Bio
















To provide the sound that is everywhere, to make that noise which is heard by everyone, everywhere, all the time.  The background tones of our sun, the universe, the frequencies produced by our own earth and waters, the alpha beta guano produced by you and me. 

He guitar, he scream. 
She voice, you cry. 
got I, make smile. 
That sort of thing.


What it all comes down to is expression. Get it On! Jungle Boogie. Star City Sausage. Sex on the Beach. Anticipate and Regulate. ubiquitone is born of need expressions, desire to see others' made and heard.

Radiating from our nation's capital, the sounds of ubiquitone have created quite a buzz. Delighting audiences with their original blend of rock, bluegrass, reggae, and jazz compositions and improvisations, ubiquitone has quickly established themselves on stages throughout the region.

Formed in the summer of 2000, ubiquitone were soon a mainstay on the mid-Atlantic festival circuit, including regular appearances at Sunshine Daydreams in Terra Alta, WV and a mainstage set at the Spring Fling in West Virginia wedged in between Keller Williams and Ekoostik Hookah. Mini-tours have taken the band throughout the region, covering Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia.

In early 2001, ubiquitone released "EP," which included the songs Lucky's Revenge, Wine, Colorado Grown, and Nomad Groove. The tracks spoke to the diversity the band achieves with each song. Ranging from swirling improvisations to tight compositions, ubiquitone delivered a distinctive mix of sounds that has become their trademark. Their disk has received regular airplay on WRNR (Annapolis, MD), which was followed by a live, in-studio performance of a number of songs.

Along the way, ubiquitone has been joined by a number of guests onstage, including Keller Williams and Todd Baker (Cravin' Dogs) to name a few. In addition to welcoming various musical guests on stage, members of ubiquitone have been active in collaborating with other performers on stage, including Rick Kline's Plaid Iguana Project, The Ordinary Way, and alt-country favorites Sixty Acres.

Ubiquitone is headed into the studio in late 2001 to begin work on their debut full-length CD.

ps: From the (Nordic?) Scucca meaning "demon"--The Black Shuck is the size of a shaggy black donkey with huge glowing red eyes or a single eye, showering sparks of green or red fire. Some describe it as a monk with a hounds head (funny imagery.) It lives in the salt marshes of the sea itself, emerging only at dusk to patrol the lanes, marshes etc. **There is also something called the Essex Shuck that is benevolent and helps to guide travelers. I like this idea better than an Evil Shuck. Cuz we're not Evil. We're good. The positive vibes of the world and all it has to offer, transcending the soul into the wonderful glory of the additional stuff.
