ABOUT

Singer-songwriter w/ large body of work. Strong songs w/thoughtful lyrics, solid melodies & hooks. Acoustic Americana-roots sound. Sense of humor. Hard worker but keep it fun. Organized but not uptight. Nonsmoker, non-user. Strong lead vocals. Solid rhythm guitarist. My approach: "everything in service of the song."
LOOKING FOR MUSICAL PARTNERS with either good harmony vocals, decent instrumental chops, or preferably both. Don't need to be virtuoso - do need to be decent.
