SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

I am looking to join a band primarily as a guitarist but I can sing and play guitar as well. I'm good at shifting back and forth between lead and rhythm guitar when it's appropriate. I previously played in a band called The Control. I've written, recorded and played several shows all around Maryland and occasionally outside. My previous band's influences have been generally in the spectrum of punk, indie, alternative and metal. I like to adapt my capabilities to what works best for the project and that usually works out pretty well. I do work full time, but that hasn't stopped me before. I'm used to practicing as a band 1-2 times a week and playing 1 good show a month (give or take).
