Would like to play music that is raw with heart, intelligence and sensitivity.
Kind of sloppy (“grunge” era) but can pull my weight musically (degree in music) and believe in playing with HEART!
Classically and jazz trained with supplemental Ramones and hardcore punk music theory. Grew up listening to father's jazz fusion, Hendrix, Prine, Fahey. Can play lead guitar, finger pick and some slap bass. Can do thrash punk yet mellow out with respect for traditional styles (see Bad Brains). Would like to do more celtic someday. Abnormal is good but no heavy drugs for out-of-mindfullness please.
