SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

Lead/Rhythm Guitarist and backing vocalist, formerly of Gunther Brown and An Overnight Low, looking to join established or newly forming original Roots Rock, Americana or Contemporary Blues band--or other musical projects. I’d also be interested in playing deep cuts of cover songs of the influences listed below. Tributes I’d be interested in are Pink Floyd, Little Feat, Derek and the Dominos or the Allman Brothers.

I have years of experience recording CDs, shooting videos, touring regionally in the US to the Netherlands from small listening venues to large festivals. I have also recently co-written and performed the music for a documentary.

My playing styles range from blues to rock, gritty twang to clean pedal steel-like guitar licks. I also play slide, lap steel, acoustic guitar and dobro. Fundamentally, I play to the space in a song and never over-step or over-play. I am looking for collaborative, like-minded individuals.

The best way to reach me is via email. I will consider many musical projects and don't want to limit this to just to playing in a working band. I am also happy to do unpaid session work and if the right project comes along, produce and co-write a record. Let's get together and talk about it.
