I am currently playing with "Guess When Tribal Celtic" band in Emmett. It is a lot of fun and we are gigging at festivals and shows this summer. We are looking to add another member to play mostly rhythm guitar, or any of the others listed (call me 208.369.0936)
I am also playing with a gritty rock band "Starfish Prime" playing a mix of covers and originals but not gigging yet. We sound like a mix of AC/DC, Pink Floyd, and Jimi Hendrix. Quite an interesting and eclectic sound, "But I Like It!"
My first real gigging band was "Hang Eleven". We played mostly 90's alternative rock covers and some contemporary dance music and a few originals. It was fun while it lasted but not the music I originally formed the band for to play.
Ultimately I would love to scratch that itch and do a tribute band of the Silversun Pickups and throw in a few other covers from my favorite influences for good measure. If that sounds like something you would be interested in doing, hit me up!
I take music seriously but not too seriously. I like some structure and progress from group practice sessions but it must be fun or there is no point in playing. I usually practice alone at least once a week and with each group at least once a week. I am dependable and committed but easy going, and I am only interested in working only with others with a similar attitude.

MUSIC

Mary Mac Jam
Mary Mac Jam Track number: 1 Year: 2012 Album: Practice Session Jam Genre: Celtic
We don't normally play this song this fast or with a lead guitar, but we had two of them that day at practice and this Jam was just the result of hamming it up a bit. The vocals are not clear at all, but this was recorded with just a hand-held recorder in our practice room. Best of all it was FUN to play!
