Bio:
I’ve been playing in rock bands since I was 16. I’m now 44. In my youth I lived in Jamaica (Kingston and Highgate) through a Peace Corps-type program. I’ve never played in a reggae band, but it's been my dream for over 20 years.
Other:
- I have a rehearsal space in my basement. It's not great, but it's free.
- I'm equally happy playing roots style or modern reggae (my favorite current reggae band is Tribal Seeds).
- I'm not interested in playing at 10:00pm on Wednesdays. I'm too old for that. Also, I'm used to playing for three hours a night.
- I'm open to playing covers and originals, but if we want to play well-paying gigs at ski lodges or beach resorts (which I can provide) then we need to play a healthy amount of covers.
