SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I've played guitar since the mid '60s, with Beatles being my first group whose music made a lasting impression. Then came Cream. Hendrix, etc. Buffalo Springfield and Crosby Stills & Nash topped my acoustic heroes list along with James Taylor and Cat Stevens. Since then, Sting and Peter Gabriel were biggest influences, while blues and alt-country have became interests that fueled my love of what has become Americana music ... Avett Brothers, Ray LaMontagne, and classics Dylan, John Prine, etc.
I love playing and singing, alone, duo, trio and full on bands.
Although I value being able to reproduce a song to be very close to the original, I also love to be the interpreter adding my own style and flavors.
I haven't written much on my own but really enjoy working together to create songs and medleys.
