I am a professional performer and gigantic enthusiast for our community. I'm especially interested in Americana/Jam/Blues/Southern Rock and that sort of thing. I grew up in a small Indiana town and it shows a little, when I play. I like good tones, good writing with good melody and a nasty rhythm groove.
