Band to Join, Vocalist - Tenor, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Saxophone, Keyboard, Background Singer.

ABOUT

I enjoy playing clubs and most venues. Try to maintain volume levels consistant with getting good tone but not overpowering the audience. Vocals are very important to be heard, I also enjoy playing guitar solos that show dynamic groove of the band and the musicianship of making music, not note for note jukebox copy cover but owning each song and taking it to the place where the band can expect to be complimented as a whole not on the shoulders of one but of all.
