ABOUT

I'm a singer (baritone/tenor) and guitarist and have been in several bar bands. I'm looking to either join or form a band to play small venues and bars two or three times a month. I also write and do home recording.

I've been a singer since childhood as a soprano in the Texas Boys Chior though I can't hit those notes as an adult.

I've been seriously studying guitar for the past eight years and take lessons twice a week.
