SEEKING

ABOUT

I am looking for musicians that have day jobs but would like to form a low-impact, competent gigging group. Ideally, we would play a mix of rock, funk, and blues and gig in the Grand Rapids area frequently. I have much experience getting these projects off of the ground and need like minded individuals that have interest in gigging and making the masses cheer and dance.

Here are some links to some of my projects:
