SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Banjo, Fiddle, Bagpipes.ABOUT
I started on the bass when I was twelve some 18 years ago. I progressed to drums, rhythm guitar, and mandolin since. Most recently I played in an Irish folk rock band for a time where I played both bass and mandolin, depending on the song. I really love playing folk music or Irish folk rock, especially on the bass and drums but am open to trying new things.
