Out of the Way
@outoftheway
Progressive/Post Metal Solo project making some awesome music. Check out my stuff at !
I've always heard that you need to be at least a little bit delusional to even consider a career as a performing musician, which is why I know I'm meant to do this. But I could be wrong cause I'm pretty delusional. If you couldn't tell. But life's more fun that way! Anyway y'all should check out
DEATH WALKED IN ON A SUNDAY, FATHER'S IN THE GROUND. Come listen to @IYAtheband perform Death Walked In on this very Sunday at O'Brien's! How topical!
I love music theory, but it's a fact that it STINKS to learn from scratch. But even if you don't know what a I-IV-V or a secondary dominant means, but just knowing what it sounds like is the important part! #musictheory #fursuit #guitartheory #furrymusic #furrymusician
Can y'all tell I used to be an IT skunk? #fursuit #furrymusic #furrymusician
Progging it up in the most Progressive bar in the city, let's go hard on a Friday at Jacques Cabaret!! July 31st, starting at 8, smell ya there!
I think this is my favorite fit I've worn so far. I gotta bring this one back out, it's so 🦨 . also the guitar solo is pretty cool #furrymusic #fursuitfriday #progmetal #guitar #guitarsolo
I'm pretty sure I'm the only one that finds this bit funny. #furrymusic #progrock #progmetal #diymusician
It's once again time to GO HARD ON A TUESDAY! It'll smell a lot better this time, I promise. Catch me playing with my band @iyatheband this time , cause going hard is always better together! Yeah.
I love really fast, technical solos. And I also love gritty, thrashy mindless jamming solos. And this song only lasts so long, and there's no rules saying you can't choose to express both at different moments of time, or blend them together however you wish at any given moment.
It's Juneteenth & #fursuitfriday! Consider giving back today, my ride or die @djwoozie.bsky.social released his mix of a Starfox-themed album that I threw some guitar down on, way back in 2023! I love workin across genres, and Woozie's production style compliments my brappy guitars so frickin
Dang, I was really on fire for this concert. It's still surreal to me that I wrote this song almost a decade ago, when I was in a pretty low place after a breakup. And here I am putting as much power and emotion into it all these years later, but in a skunk costume that's like 😛
People have been asking why I went for the dead skunk branding. There's no one good answer, but I do love a good spooky proggy minute long solo! Phone sound quality, oh well. You'll just have to come see me live at Jacques Cabaret in Boston tomorrow, June 19th!
I never hit this drop with such energy before! These little DIY shows are so helpful for letting loose and trying new stuff out, and every performance I feel a little more confident! I made a music video for this one too! check it out! https://youtu.be/KkmG0A2slAI?is=7jYO-2jha1r06xl1
This is, by far, the hardest riff I've written, because music always comes out better with collaboration! When @djwoozie.bsky.social dropped this beat into my lap, I knew I had to skunk it up with a riff so stank it'd make me TF. Out June 19th! #furrymusic #hiphop #metal #starfox #newmusic
Live Music is back at Jacques! We've got our lineup sorted out officially, you won't wanna miss this historic show! 2 solo acts, Out of the Way and Andey Samhain, and two full rock/metal bands, Wireless Connection and IYA, kick off the next era of Jacques Live Music! \m/
I've been booking shows like it's no one's stinkin' business! One at The Cantab on Tuesday, another at Jacques Cabaret on Friday! Where should I travel to next? #ProgressiveRock #furry #furrymusician #livemusic #guitarsolo
This particular passage in Evil Containment Wave is already challenging enough on it's own, adding the fursuit is peak insanity. I'm giving myself a 95% on this run though, I get closer every gig! Momma didn't raise no quitter critter, cause my momma barely raised me at all! 🦨
Incredibly exciting news! Live music is coming back to Jacques Underground, and we're kicking it off with a Juneteenth show, where all cover proceeds go directly to the beautiful cast of the Juneteenth Dollhouse show, happening upstairs at the same time! We have room for 1 more band as well, hmu!

What's Black and White and shreds all over? The answer may surprise you. Kicking off the 1st #fursuitfriday of pride with a good stinkin' time! I'm almost done with the album, but my next single "Chariot" will release later this month! #progrock #bostonpride #lgbtmusic #newmusic
Happy Pride Month, everyone! Never be afraid of trying something new out of fear of public perception. Let your confidence shine ✨
Oh it's very Wet out. Looks like I'm rescheduled to tomorrow, same time same place!! but I'm still playing with IYA at 3 today!
