SEEKING
Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Background Singer, Upright bass.ABOUT
Been playing on and off for 25+ years, been committed to progressing my talent for the last 8 and have finally started singing... regularly. I have a kickin drummer from Chicago I've been playing with for over 3 years. He grew up in the area where the Blues was a first language! We need a bassist/upright bass player, and possibly a vocalist/ back up vocalist,and a key board player ready to take on a new project.
Love the Blues!
I've played in at least a dozen bands spanning Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, to, Raw Blues & Progessive Jazz...
No one genre has grabbed me harder than the Blues. However, it's being the entertainer that drives me. Seeing people enjoy themselves while enjoying the music. It's truly the way we universally communicate. Honestly, I just live to play and better my skills with my decisions and my audience. They let me know what they love to hear me play, and I give them my version of that.

EQUIPMENT
I'm rolling a Mesa set up, Dual Rec-4ch, reverb/ 6x12 roller, ESP-LTD. I run pretty raw right now, I'm wireless with a CryBaby wah for expression when it feels right or is asked for.
I'm pretty resourceful if we need something. Got a pair of power speakers for outdoor power.
