I am a studied and experienced performing musician, open to all sorts of music, with preferences in the jam/improvisation, progressive rock, and bluegrass world, plus many, many more. I studied music performance in college, so I am trying to find people closer to my age that are serious about making music, and making a band, their full time job! If you are open-minded, reliable, outspoken, passionate, yet easy-going, we should try jamming! Whether you have a band that has an open spot for a lead or rhythm guitarist, or if you are like me and trying to make a new band, shoot me a message, lets talk about goals, and hopefully set something up.
