Vocalist - Baritone, Bass Guitar, Piano.ABOUT
Currently involved in bands which play cover tunes, but I prefer to focus on original composition/arrangement. Past work was Floyd-ish, currently working on a classic Genesis-meets-Crimson type of suite, but simpler, more accessible songs are just as important.
