ABOUT

Very reliable, level-headed and soulful Blues/Rock/Country/Folk guitarist and songwriter, looking to possibly form a new group, but more so to find a writing/recording partner(s) or just to collaborate on writing.

I am an active songwriter and have an excellent recording setup with high-end hardware in an acoustically treated home studio. Songs on my page are home-recorded and self-produced, to give you an idea of the quality I can put out. As of late I have been writing more in the folk and blues arena, not as much rock these days, but I still enjoy that.

I am just as if not more interested in embarking on a writing/recording/album project than I am in a new band.

I did the fair and bar gig scene with success for several years, but I grew tired of it and now have a little boy at home with my wife, so I am over the idea of getting home at 3am - or at least on any regular basis. If I was to get back into gigging, I'd prefer to stick to the events, fairs, private gigs, etc. - in other words, the fun stuff that pays better!
