SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Have a variety of experience playing out - from rock to bluegrass to acoustic duos and solo. Do covers and originals, looking to push out on the latter. Play out with occasional giggers with limited ability to commit beyond here and there. Would like more consistency.
I am primarily a guitarist-vocalist, capable on both electric and acoustic. My keys are very rusty / comparatively limited. Mando is rusty but can fake it with some prep (used to play it on a few tunes in the bluegrass days when guitar and mando would swap).
Seeking collaboration and am willing to commit based on the potential of the opportunity. Need to be tactical an efficient, but will clear decks as merited
