Curtis Murchison -- Bassist, Back-up Vocals

DOB/Place: 2/25/1983; Moses Lake, Washington (Big Up’s to the ML!!!)

Joined/Formed SMTN:  Well, of course there is the pure love for music. But aside from that initially it was to have a healthy outlet of stress. Healthy as opposed to crack or meth or something. Once more and more people began telling us how good we were, then it started to emerge that I could actually reach someone, and have an impact in their life. I could be inspiration to someone out there. So then just the desire to reach people and have fans that shared the same love for music is all enough reason to continue pursuing SMTN. That and Marcus is really cute...

Musical Background:  Began playing guitar when I was 12, moved to bass and back to guitar a few times. Decided to stick with bass since my fingers are fat. So I have just been playing bass since about 17. Also was in choir for three years. It doesn't show though...
