SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I am a guitarist and also a singer/songwriter. I just moved down to the Kansas city area and am looking to either form a band or join one. My style is a mix of rock/country/blues. Besides my own band in MInneapolis I've also played with acts such as Marshall Star & Shane Wyatt as well as opened for national acts like Wade Bowen, Sunny Sweeney, Back Porch Mary, Jackson Taylor, Bright Giant and more.
