Chief cook and bottle washer for these events, Wortis has been kicking around the Boston music scene for awhile. Originally from Pennsylvania he was drawn to Boston cuz it was cool at the time, and has stayed ever since, leaving a long line of Boston bands in his wake: Dunkirk Affair, 3rd Estate, Slide, Blow, Leah Callahan, The Family Jewels, Wortishead, Gato Malo, Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica, Paved Country and most recently the Jeremiah Weed Foundation.

The rest of his time is spent drinking too much bourbon, listening to old rhythm and blues records and making a living as a designer.
