ABOUT

I play bass and backing vocals in a post-hardcore/alternative rock band called Of Night And Light which is currently taking up most of my available time as we are writing and preparing for our next tour in April. I also have my own solo indie/folk project called Poison & Prose.

Played electric guitar and backing vocals in a metalcore/punk band all through high school and some of college.

I'm potentially looking to jam out, play gigs and open mics, and really just play some good music. We could do some recording as well. I have a lot of equipment and play several instruments with a few different genres so there's a lot of ways to mess around. My music is very emotionally-based with a generally progressive structure and dynamics. I also love the minor keys.

Check out my influences to see what type of music I like to play. I'm primarily interested in writing new music, not being a cover band (though I'd be happy to play a few here and there).

I have all my gear at my house and my neighbors are chill so they don't care if we're a little loud (as long as it's not super late). My band practices at my house several times a week. I'd also be happy to meet you somewhere as well.

If all this sounds good to you, call/text at 315-882-6737 or e-mail at cameron.c.thibault g mail . com and let's make some sounds!
