SEEKING

ABOUT

I can play lead, rhythm and sing lead and background vocals. Looking to start an acoustic duo project that will lead to full band. Would like to start with 2 acoustics (or me on acoustic with you on bass) where both can sing vocal lead and harmonize. The music will be a mix of covers and originals. There are 3 originals in my profile.

I am not doing this for the money, but if we can make enough to pay for gig gas and a pedal here and there, that's fine. If money through music is your motivation, we are not a match. I make enough money at my day job and do music for the emotional satisfaction it brings. Thanks for checking out my profile.
