SEEKING
Band to Join, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
I am an extremely experienced musician/singer. I have been a professional touring & recording artist & composer for a very long time. I won't drop specific names here (because for one the specifics do not matter, and two I'm not an insecure D-bag), but I've shared the stage &/or studio with many artists whose names, &/or work, I can guarantee you know. I only mention that to help you understand that I am a serious, committed, & talented musician. Not bragging, just confident & proven. I'm a professional singer/guitarist/bassist/percussionist. I play anything from "in your face funk-jazz bass" to "kick back acoustic chill music."
I am very interested in finding other QUALITY MUSICIANS (bassist, drummer, & possibly a lead guitarist), with whom I'd like to book gigs to perform mainly ALTERNATIVE ROCK music (with a few fun & interesting surprises thrown in here & there).
Of note, I have also begun launching a solo music project of ACOUSTIC ALTERNATIVE remakes/covers, but band gigs will take priority over solo bookings. Moreover, to expedite bookings of band gigs in the beginning, I can even open up for the band until the group polishes up enough tunes to fill an entire night.
If interested & serious, please contact me:
