SEEKING
Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Background Singer, Banjo, Dobro.ABOUT
A solid guitarist, conventional and slide, who enjoys playing old school blues-based music (with a healthy dose of reverb). I've never believed that audiences only appreciate live music if it 'rocks'. If it's played well with a good rhythm and a solid beat, it's good by me.
