ABOUT

Interested?: call 205-317-1282
prefer musicians in Birmingham/Hoover or surrounding areas

Guitarist/vocalist looking to start a stoner band with lots of 70's influence (similar to bands like The Sword). Want to gig as soon as a solid set list is hammered out so I can play live between work and school. I'm a very chill humorous person who doesn't touch alcohol or drugs (despite genre interest). I have no issues hanging out with people who do though.

I have a bit of live experience from past bands (super old videos posted below from when I was singing/playing in a pop rock band) and have tons of collaborative songwriting experience so I'm pretty efficient and fun to work with in the creative stage. I dabble in home recording

My "tend to practice" and "gigs per week" stats listed are ideal numbers for when a fully functioning band is complete, but of course those can/will change accordingly to accommodate all members
