Ace Yates + Musician in Apex, NC

SEEKING

ABOUT

At the moment I'm not looking for a permanent band situation, although open to fill-in cover gigs. Mostly serving in church worship service.

My styles vary from the hard rock background, to the ambient guitar styles heard in earlier Coldplay/U2 styles. Have a soft spot for 70's Pop/Rock ala Pablo Cruise/ Steely Dan /Doobie Bros / Paul Carrack ("How Long") / 70's Elton John, and all Funk genre from that decade

Have been teaching guitar for decades and taking interested students.

There are videos, and audio of me playing in past cover bands that are there to show my skill sets.
