I've been playing a lot of solo acoustic over the past few years and have recently begun getting back into my more jazz/rock roots. I'd really like to get a band together to either do some fun indie folk or even something reminiscent of bands such as maps & atlases and toe.
My primary is guitar and its many styles, then followed by bass, vocals and drums. I wouldn't say I'm an amazing singer, but I could hold it down as a solid back-up and I've dabbled in many many instruments over the years, even including flute, violin, piano. I'm usually down to meet and jam, nights and weekends, and I'm down to either help you with your project or make new material. Message me if you think this sounds good.
