Enter Wayne Kleppe. Wayne was my roommate in Boston for 6 months when I lived there last winter & spring (2011). He’s an artist in all aspects, studied at the MFA school, and makes life-sized prints from hand-carved wood blocks. Wayne is probably one of the nicest guys you’d ever meet.

I’d actually overlooked this track for a while, so it was nice to hear more about it and get a nudge to give it another listen. The video here is also really solid for a local act (now regional- maybe?) and [...]
You know, I heard this “interwebs” thing was going to catch on, so I wanted to get in on it while it was still early!
