Band to Join, Vocalist, Vocalist - Bass, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.

ABOUT

I really just want to get together with some cool people and jam regularly. A working band is great if it happens, but I want to play. I am a lead guitarist with great tone and tasty fills, looking for some people with serious classic rock cover band intentions in the Raleigh area. I'm older but young at heart, dedicated, available and ready to gig. I have pro equipment and attitude. My preference is a band with 2 guitars or a keyboard player to round out the sound, drums and a front man who can work the crowd. I'm all for mixing things up, classic rock, 60's, 70s, 80, Grunge, Southern Rock, New Country. I love it all. I think if you just smack people in the head with one great song after another, regardless of the decade or genre, it keeps the party moving!
