Hey guys,
My names Alex, and I am looking for additional projects here in Nashville. I really do love the Banjo, I just wouldn't listen to Scruggs do it all night for sure (rest his soul). I like folky stuff, I like stretching music and songwriting to different alleyways than some might. I have found ways to apply the beauty, grit, volume, and intricacy of my instrument to lots of different styles and would love to find some people who have done the same on their medium.
Before I get you too excited, all music is an uphill battle, and I didn't come up with the cash to run through music school at Berkley with the ol' five string. I do have a general music theory can humor the most basic beginners through people i will never be as good as (and there are plenty i'm sure).
