Band to Join.ABOUT
I'm a fifty-something with a full-time teaching job. I've played and performed music for more than 40 years. This includes bluegrass, contra/square dances, coffee house acoustic stuff, and small venue classic rock, contemporary country and blues. I've been in many bands, and just enjoy the whole experience of practicing, performing, and recording with other committed musicians. My main instrument is lead guitar, but I also can do backup and lead vocals. I've also played acoustic guitar and electric mandolin.
