Career

Deer began his music career in Indianapolis, where, along with high school friends Chris Barth and Peter King, The Impossible Shapes was formed.

The group released their first record, "The Great Migration", in 2000 and followed with 2 subsequent releases with Indianapolis-based label Recordhead/Mr.Whiggs.

In 2003, The Impossible Shapes signed with Bloomington label Secretly Canadian released "We Like It Wild" and toured nationally and internationally. Around the same time, John Wilkes Booze was reformed in its classic "Five Pillars of Soul" line-up.

His solo debut by The Horns of Happiness A Sea As a Shore was released by Secretly Canadian in 2004.
