I have recently relocated to Asheville from Chicago. I am looking for folks to make music with. Anything from a regular gigging band to sitting around a living room or campfire jamming. From seasoned professionals to inspired beginners. I appreciate many types of music but lean towards Americana/Roots styles. I am a big, big blues fan. I love folk, alt country and vintage rock. I am not a fan of the idea of musical preservation. Perfectly recreating something someone else played is not my thing but I love taking an old song and making it my own.
I have toured, played and recorded with many professional singer/songwriter types during the nineties such as Carrie Newcomer, Greg Brown and Bill Morrisey and have done everything from sound track recording to bar band rock. I am just as happy playing acoustic or electric and love a setting that mixes both. I've written plenty of tunes and love to collaborate but I am mainly an instrumentalist. I play most of the guitar tracks on the songs in my profile and I play mandolin on several as well.
I don't care if I get paid and don't care if I play for three people or three thousand. Your heart is more important than your chops. At this stage of my life and career I don't need the money or the drama and am doing this purely for enjoyment. I can be a bandleader/arranger, a democratic idea contributing band member or a quiet sideman following direction.
Anyhow, if you just want to sit around your living room and pick or you want to rock the town give me a shout.
