Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
My former band G-Rated-X has parted ways. I was the lead vocalist and guitarist. I want to write and perform original music with LIKE MINDED DRIVEN INDIVIDUALS to form a successful ORIGINAL band. I wrote, produced & engineered the music of G-RATED-X and plan to bring some of it to the new project. In the meantime I'll be performing the more bluesy songs at open mic nights and wherever I can get booked. PLEASE CHECK OUT MUSIC BEFORE CONTACTING ME.
