Miguel Romero

Today's musician Miguel Romero I met through my brother in law Travis Manning. They were in a band together at a time when I was in the middle of raising children. I would look forward to the next time NME came to town so I could hang out with people my age and talk about music. We spent many evening's after shows Downing really bad fast food as Del taco is the only thing open when the music's over and the band is hungry. Without further ado here is Miguel Romero.
