About

Played casually with many musicians but just now getting interested in gigs. I like the fun and accessibility of bluegrass, the soul of blues and funk, and the intensity and fun of rock. I shy away from pop/rock cover band that plays mega hits. I like some individuality in the band and my playing overall. I am a pretty good recording engineer. I like a clean soulful sound with good vocal harmony. Ultimately, I'd rather be flexible and play than wait for the perfect match.

Influences

Blues: Robben Ford, SRV
