I'm just looking to jam with people, form a group, play at different venues. I formed a group and organized a benefit show at Kettering University (General Motors Institute, Flint, MI) and have played at blues night in the Flint, MI area. I also played in the E.B. Coleman Jazz Band in Mobile, AL. I'm versatile in style, quick to learn, traditional and experimental.
