ABOUT

Looking for committed players to help form a bluegrass band playing my original songs and my bluegrass arrangements of popular songs from several non-bluegrass genres as well as Gospel songs. Would like to collaborate with players who write their own music as well!

I play bass and will sing lead on some of the songs, but looking for a player who can also sing a "bluegrass tenor" to be the main lead singer; however, a good female lead singer would work, too! I wrote "Kneeling at the Cross" with Dolly Parton's voice in my mind.

Below I have five rough demos of my songs. These aren't real players, they are computer generated facsimiles with me singing into a really bad microphone, so it doesn't sound great like it really should, but it does give you an idea of what I'm trying to do here.
