SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

Lead/Rhythm Guitarist and backing vocalist, formerly of Gunther Brown, looking to join established or newly forming original Roots Rock, Americana or Contemporary Blues band--or other musical projects. I’d be very interested in playing songs of the influences listed below.

I have years of experience recording CDs, shooting videos, touring regionally in the US to the Netherlands from small listening venues to large festivals. I have also recently co-written and performed the music for a documentary.

My playing styles range from blues to rock, gritty twang to clean pedal steel-like guitar licks. I also play slide, lap steel, acoustic guitar and dobro. Fundamentally, I play to the space in a song and never over-step or over-play. I am looking for collaborative, like-minded individuals.

The best way to reach me is via email. I will consider many musical projects and don't want to limit this to just to playing in a working band. I am also happy to do unpaid session work and if the right project comes along, produce and co-write a record. Let's get together and talk about it.
