Influences

Neil Young, Tom Petty, Beatles, Stones, 60's/70's funk and soul, Santana, Blues; anything old and good. Currently working on Rockabilly and 60's soul songs.

I also can play harp on the typical songs - Roadhouse Blues, Georgia Satellites, etc.

I sing harmony and lead on songs of my type - Neil Young, Tom Petty, Georgia Satellites, B52s, Pink Floyd, etc. I also enjoy using alternate guitar tunings as well.

Members Of Band

The recent version of the band has dissolved after three years. Had some fun gigs, many documented on my 6dna channel on be. I'd love to find some other folks looking for some informal jamming to see if we can put something new together.

Here's what I'd like to do. Find a singing bass play and keyboard player (great but not necessary at this point) to jam to see if we can produce something that sells. I'm retired but don't want a 2 gig per week band at this point. I'm happy with 1 to 2 gigs per month at the most. I'd like to play with folks who are willing to play songs that we could do well and add something special. If you have a laundry list of songs or groups you don't like, then that's not what I'm looking for.

I've got over 1100 songs charted out (for myself) with chords, lyrics and arrangements. I've love to do some rockabilly from the 50's, soul and rock from the 60's - 80's. There are some good new songs and I have some of those too. Unless its a great song, I'm not interested in metal, Green, Nickelback, STP, etc. Good blues of any vintage is great. But if you want work, you've got to focus on good danceable tunes as well as doing songs that you can do better than other groups so folks will remember you. Would love some shoreline gigs since those can lead to more lucrative private gigs.
