Recently moved to Athens from Chapel Hill, NC and am looking for a project. Would love to get into some music here in Athens, both playing my own music and collaborating with others. It would be great to find some people to write with in a collaborative project. I'm interested in alt country, sugarplum indie pop, blues, and possibly some more experimental stuff.
I've been in bands that do original material and I've been in cover bands. The original stuff is usually more fun, I've found, but I'd be open to a cover band if the right one came along.
I'm mainly a vocalist, but can play rhythm guitar, some keys, and though it's been a while, I can play some woodwind and brass instruments if given a few hours to fool around with them.
In addition to doing music, I've spent the past few years as a theatrical sound designer, so I definitely like playing with and manipulating sounds.
** The first three songs I wrote for various projects. "A Ring When It Is Rolling" is written by Billy Sugarfix and it was part of a project that I sang in called The Password to Larkspur Lane. "Bright Was My Sweetheart" is by Billy Sugarfix and is off of his 2009 CD Summer Tempests. I sing the high harmony on that one.
The videos are from a Gram Parsons cover band that I played in back home. One is from a gig at the Local 506, and one is a recording of a rehearsal one of the first times we had all band members together.
