ABOUT

Rock guitarist and vocalist looking to form or join a three-piece power trio. See my details below.

I'm a 49-year-old seasoned rock guitarist and vocalist located in the greater Annapolis, Maryland area. I'm professional, organized, dependable/reliable, dedicated and practice hard--I do my homework show to rehearsal prepared. I have gigged with a few bands in the area over the past 15-years, so I am no greenhorn to the stage. Over the three years during COVID, I created a virtual band that jams and records weekly called The IP Rockers. We have recorded over 80 great songs, check out our recordings here: s:///dematteoss/sets/the-ip-rockers-live-on-jamulus

I have professional gigging gear, as well as sound setup, PA system, stage lights, recording gear etc. I play both rhythm and lead and some slide guitar, harmonica and vocals. I have fronted two three-piece bands in my past. I play a lot of 70s classic rock, some dance songs, 90s/2000 heavy/alternative, and grunge.

I am looking for a regular weekly fun and drama-free band practice situation as well as getting out and playing for an audience monthly. While paying gigs are great, it's not necessary; as I am mainly looking for fun and the enjoyment of making some good rock music. Location is key, I am not looking to drive more than 40-minutes for weekly band practice.

If you're a fun group, practice weekly, drama free, and in need a passionate and dedicated rock guitarist, please contact me and let's see if we can gel and the chemistry works. When you reply, please include your current working set list. I can provide you with recent recordings and videos of me playing upon request.
