SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a singer who also plays keys, acoustic and electric guitars with a fair ability for second lead guitar parts. Have been working in a 4
piece, pro level group that just lost both bass and lead guitar players. Need a pro level lead guitar and bass who can also sing lead and backups. There are some short videos of us here on my page.
