bvotta + Musician in Safety Harbor, FL

ABOUT

I'm a seasoned and adaptable musician with both studio and live performance experience playing throughout Florida, though mostly the west coast from Naples to Spring Hill. I'm currently playing guitar and mandolin for Tampa based Xander Road (formerly Turning Point). Past Lead/Rhythm/Mandolin player in Backlash (Naples), Time and a Half (Fort Myers), Big Bad Wolf (Port Charlotte), and many more in the 30+ years I've been playing. Always open to any new opportunities and projects or just to jam and have fun.
