theronius + Musician in Sherman, TX

ABOUT

A versatile, pro guitarist, with pro gear, and a great attitude. (In other words, no massive ego. :) )

I'm currently the lead guitarist and one of the vocalists in Buffett Beach (www.buffettbeachband.com), a Jimmy Buffett Tribute band.

I'm interested in joining other tribute bands, and play a few gigs a month. Not looking for the every weekend thing at this point. Ideally, once the initial framework is set, rehearsal time will be super minimal, as we'd be gigging enough to stay sharp.

Another project that would be of interest to me is a guitar-based power pop band. I write power pop originals and would be up for anything in that vein, either original or cover!

My past projects include cover bands Hiwatt, The Love Jacks, and Notorious Sensation, tributes (I do a mean Rick Neilsen if you're looking for Cheap Trick) and original projects. Finally, I've also played guitar for a number of stage productions including Tommy, Rocky Horror Picture Show and Jesus Christ Superstar.

I've been playing music in one form or another since I was 4 years old, and I'm looking for some fresh new opportunities. Thanks for reading all this, and I look forward to talking to you!

Influences

I cut my teeth on classic rock in the late 70s and made the transition into the 80's with New Wave and Heavy Metal, then played on into the 90s with grunge/alternative. When I first started playing, I studied Jazz and Blues with a private instructor. I also took three years of professional vocal coaching early on in my playing career, as I kept ending up being pushed into singing lead vocals and got tired of trashing my voice by the end of 5 nights in a row. :)

EQUIPMENT

A host of guitars, amps, effects... too many for a complete list, but my main rig for Buffett Beach is a Nashville Tele into a Dr Z Maz 18. I have a variety of other amps, and a Helix modeler so I can cover a wide variety of tonal ground. I also play an Ultra Strat, a Gibson Les Paul Classic, a Hamer Explorer and a G&L ASAT depending on what the gig calls for. If things really get into the jangly power-pop territory, I can also bust out my Rick 360/12.
