SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I am 32 year old guitarist/vocalist from Southern California. I have been playing for over 15 years, and playing shows on a professional level for over 10. I started playing rock, blues, and alternative in a 3 piece band where I would play both lead and rhythm guitar as well as sing. These early shows were in dirty dive bars and as I progressed I would play in nicer venues that were built for live music like DBA in Pomona or Mission Tobacco Lounge. After that moved on to even better venues like House of Blues Anaheim inside the Foundation Room and The Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood. I’ve also been hired to play events such as a wedding, baby shower and birthday parties. Most recently I was hired by Beale Street Blues Company to perform as guitarist/vocalist for the Rolling Stone Lounge Band onboard the Westerdam for Holland America Cruise Lines. On this ship I performed 6 nights a week, 3 shows a night for 4 months playing well known classic rock, r & b, country, and 80s hits.
