SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
25+ years of professional music experience. Mainly as a country lead guitarist/vocalist but have over 12 years of professional recording history playing drums, bass, keyboards, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, dobro, pedal steel guitar & harmonica. Toured the US in the mid 2000's. Played lead/slide/acoustic guitar & vocals in the house bands at Wild Bills, Cowboy Bills & Wild Horse.
I'm looking for studio work & gigs (acoustic and full band) mainly during the week and on the occasional off weekends we have. Currently I play lead & slide guitar, fiddle and sing harmony vocals with Curb Recording Artist, Tim Dugger & The Dirt Road Band on most weekends.

FYI-These are mostly home recordings I've done mainly 10+ years ago (for the most part) and there is some pretty WEIRD stuff on there mixed in with pop, country, bluegrass, rap & originals!
