They've been together for four years, and their shows have never once sold out. He works part-time at a secondhand record shop and can name the obscure seventies albums from the cover alone. His apartment has terrible soundproofing, so he practices late at night with headphones on and no amp.
Personality. Says little and talks as if reciting lyrics, never finishing more than half a thought. Doesn't handle praise well; when complimented he looks down and fiddles with the strings. Stubborn about music, indifferent about everything else. When he's happy he doesn't smile; he just walks you to the station.
