ABOUT

Hi there, former pro guitarist/songwriter here. I'm looking for some good musicians to at least jam with that don't have super high aspirations but want to be good. I play a variety of styles, rock being my favorite especially in the alternative vein as I was in the Chicago scene during the 90s. I do write good songs in that genre. I've fronted bands playing originals, played guitar in other's bands and have done studio work. I attended the USC Studio Guitar program in college. I had a kid about 7 years ago and haven't done anything musical other than jamming occasionally and looking to change that.
