- Personal Bio (Tell us about yourself)
Rod O'Riley is an engineer by day, a songwriter by night, and many other things in the hours in between. A native of Los Angeles, raised in his parents’ native Vancouver, BC, and schooled all over the West Coast. Currently learning the fine art of bass playing, producing, and letting the computer take care of the hard parts. Active as an organizer in science fiction fandom, he finds time (somehow) to be an activist for environmental and political causes. And, of course, for the continued viability of live music and the venues that support it. And he is also Chapter Coordinator in Orange County for Songsalive! an international songwriting organization.
