ABOUT

FIRST...Don't let my age fool you...I am youthful, active, and have more music energy than most people around me "young or old"...
I have written a lot of good songs and have been playing them solo for some years now. I play rhythm guitar (acoustic-electric ovation classical - sort of percussive strumming style) and sing. I play exclusively in open E flat tuning which gives me interesting and unique voicing in my chords. I have my own sound...nobody sounds like me. I have a pop sensibility to my writing and like strong melody and harmony. My lyrics tend to be positive, in the social-spiritual-political realm and I like upbeat music that moves the feet and the head and heart. I have a solid voice with good range and basically use my guitar as a rhythmic accompaniment. I am not a solo or lead guitarist and am looking for a soloist or two who want to take the instrumental solo spotlight often.
SAX is my dream solo piece in my songs and I can also envision guitar, violin, flute and perhaps keys, piano, or...?
I am looking for a couple of hot, creative hand drummer/percussionists who are not afraid to drive the beat at times. Traps are fine, but I love the hand percussion sound and want it to be the up-front beat.
I also play solid hand drums and percussion. I would love to meet someone who has written as much as I have and has songs that I could just plug into and play percussion support or backup vocals. The idea of writing songs with someone has always been exciting and I would be stoked to find someone to do that with.
I have no preference in gender for band members, I just mainly would want to hook up with people who value positive cooperation and have the patience to do what it takes to play together and kick ass!
