SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Bass Guitar.ABOUT
A little about me. I'm a huge music lover of all kinds and have been playing guitar since I was 13. I grew up on on a small mountain in West Virginia learning bluegrass and old country songs, have been in a few Classic Rock and Metal bands back in the day, but my true love these days is the Blues and Acoustic Rock. I would call my style "Psychedelic Hillbilly Blues" if you can dig it. I live in NW Fresno and am a married, working professional with a day job, but my schedule is pretty flexible.
I am looking to collaborate with like-minded musicians and would really enjoy finding a vocalist and bassist that likes my musical style and can compliment it. I'm a home-brewer, so if you have a good voice or can thump on the bass like nobody's business, and like to sip on a good brew, get in touch and let's hang out.
Happy jamming...

What You Want
What You Want Track number: 1 Year: 2013 Album: Untitled Genre: Blues
A groove I came up with recently that I really enjoy. I've started some lyrics, but that's never been my strong suit. I programmed the drums, but the bass and electric guitar parts are all me.

Groovin...
Groovin... Track number: 2 Year: 2013 Album: Untitled Genre: Blues
I programmed the drum track, but the bass and electric guitar parts are all me... I started with laying the bass groove and then layered the simple guitar rhythm on top to compliment it. It makes my body wiggle when I listen to it and brings a smile to my face. Fun stuff indeed...

Feeling Blue
Feeling Blue Track number: 5 Year: 2013 Album: Untitled Genre: Blues
Another original I've been working on for a little while now... I wish I were better at writing lyrics. Playing guitar is so much easier for expressing myself than using words.

Takin' A Ride
Takin' A Ride Track number: 4 Year: 2013 Album: Untitled Genre: Blues
Another groove that we stumbled upon last night at the drummers house. That recording didn't come out so well, but here's the track that I've started building based on it. The drums are looped and I'm playing bass, rhythm, and lead guitar in this take...

Out Walking The Dog...
Out Walking The Dog... Track number: 8 Year: 2013 Album: Untitled Genre: Other
Another original groove I threw together. I had to create a custom drum track to match the rhythm. I am playing the bass, rhythm, and lead guitar parts. I hope you enjoy it.

Lullaby...
Lullaby... Track number: 3 Year: 2013 Album: Untitled Genre: Acoustic
This is an acoustic piece I threw together. The starting riff was the initial idea and I layered additional tracks on top, fading them in and out as needed to get to this result. It could still use a bit of refining, but it's not bad for only having my recording equipment for a few days.
