SEEKING

ABOUT

Currently leading Voodoo Punch (hard rock/metal covers) on lead guitar & backup vocals and playing bass & backup vocals in the Leslie Doak Band (classic country original & covers).

40s with very good day job who is reliable, professional and committed who wants to do this first as a passion/labor of love and secondly to get paid (as an additional supplement).

70s & 80s guitar-driven music is where I shine on guitar, but I also love playing bass in country music and 70s music when bass lines were much more interesting.
