I'm a guitarist / vocalist (Bellevue, WA) with many years of professional experience, and looking for band (or musicians wanting to start a band) that is creative, entertaining, organized with professional musicians, seeking 2 to 6 gigs per month. I would prefer developing original tunes, but certainly open to doing quality cover tunes. I am available for weekly rehearsals, have rehearsal space and PA. No interest in extensive touring, or musicians without experience. I have played everywhere from dive bars to large concert stages, and believe what matters most is the integrity of the music and the people you perform with.

Influences:

My main interests include power pop, alt-country/Americana, roots rock, country rock, blues, funk, jazz & electronica, but I enjoy ANY music performed well. I prefer a good song over self-indulgent guitar pyrotechnics.

Some of the artists I like: Fountains of Wayne, XTC, Ben Folds Five, Elvis Costello, Will Owsley, Robbie Fulks, Little Feat, Jackson Browne, Steve Earle, Webb Wilder, Shawn Colvin, Joni Mitchell, Storyville, Arc Angels, Buddy Miller, Lucinda Williams, John Hiatt, Gov't Mule, Joe Henry, Al Anderson of NRBQ, the Bottle Rockets, Big Wreck, Cheap Trick, Nick Lowe, Rockpile, Marshall Crenshaw, Rodney Crowell, Flim & the BBs, Chick Corea, Lone Justice, the Skeletones / Morrells, Morphine, Modeski-Martin & Wood, Richard Thompson, Chris Whitley.

Guitar influences: Stuart Smith, Monte Montgomery, Ry Cooder, David Lindley, Scott Henderson, David Grissom, Robben Ford, Sonny Landreth, Michael Landau, Rick Vito, Johnny Winter, Brent Mason, Robbie McIntosh, Guthrie Govan, Wayne Krantz...and a few bazillion others.

Equipment List:

I use an effective range of guitars, basses, amps, too many pedals, plus PA and recording gear. All gear is pro level equipment, well maintained and gig ready. Good gear is important, but secondary to good musicianship.
