SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I'm new to the area, and looking for like minded musicians! Experienced professional musician of 37+ years. Been playing guitar since I was 4 years old. Can't remember not being able to play. I'm not looking to tour, or be a star! I just want to get out and play some great music with some musicians that play well together, and listen to each other! I am quite adept at arrangement of music and vocals. I can sing lead but, would rather sing backup. I currently maintain an endorsement with Hanson Guitars. I was the State Of Georgia Finger Style Champion 2009-2010. And second place in 2011. I toured with Heartsfield 1999-2002. I have shared the stage with Joe Nichols, Sawyer Brown, Eddie Money, .38 Special, Phil Vasser and many others. You can find me on be as a solo and with the "Thomas Fountain Band". I am well versed in Jazz, Blues, Pop, Classic Rock, Country and Folk. I have the chops. And I have the tone. So Let's get together and make some great music and, have some BIG OL' FUN!
