Salutations! I am a guitar player that is well versed in many different stylings on both acoustic and electric. I'm looking for other musicians to work with, whether it be an acoustic duo, or full band. Open to many different genres so long as we can get along and maintain a professional performance. (No drinking or substance problems here. You shouldn't have any either.)
Perfectly fine with playing covers, originals, or both. Also enjoy playing polished tribute shows as well.
Though I don't regularly work in a studio, it is a very comfortable environment for me to work in. Not opposed to any studio/session work that might come about.
I’ve also worked out on the road for a couple of years. I really enjoyed doing it and wouldn’t be opposed to doing it again with the right people.
I'm always on time, I learn my material well, and have a good attitude for work. I take music performance very seriously. When I'm playing, I see it as my responsibility to influence my audience's emotions and feelings. With that in mind, I do everything I can to have the best performance each time I play.
