ABOUT

Looking for a local (30152, 30127, 30144) drummer and bass to play with and then see about adding others. Styles are: funk, punk, rockabilly, ambient, melodic. If it works and it's good I have the connections for live gigs in better venues. Been writing and playing guitar since the early 80s with the same guys and want to expand in all areas to see what else is possible. While mostly known as a rocker, I have played, and enjoy, all kinds of music, including electronica (/zwitteratlanta), spoken word, ambient, funk, blues, americana. (/mrphelps1) Not an expert at anything, but have played guitar and drums live, and bass, keyboards, drums, percussion and DAW, and more, in the studio. A product of the late-70s DIY school, I will attempt to add color on practically any instrument, with varying degrees of success. Ambitious and experimental, I have no problem taking chances. Like I say: ://./zwitteratlanta and ://./mrphelps1 .
