ABOUT

*Currently Unavailable for new projects.*

Vocalist/rhythm guitarist/bassist (who can also play trombone).

I'm down to play covers but would love to play original material (happy to collab on songwriting). Really any guitar-driven rock and roll, from 60s hits to 90s punk styles. I can play guitar or bass and sing. I’m looking to have fun, and don’t take myself too seriously. But I’m dependable and not afraid to work hard for something I’m passionate about.

I have summers off, and am free most nights and weekends.
Please DM me on Insta at diy_cover_chick and let's jam!
