SEEKING

ABOUT

Looking for a band that is primarily writing and performing original material; I am open to jamming/improvisation.

Hoping to join in on the writing. I am open to touring and travel.

Guitar, keys & modular/eurorack modular synths, bass, and pedal steel. Have done some lead vocal work, but I am probably stronger as a backup singer. Production chops.
