SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Bass Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
My day job keeps me pretty busy. That said, I found time to be in a gigging bar band the past 10+ years. We practiced weekly and gigged, on average, 2x month. That outfit disbanded a while back after a key member left. Initially, I was content to write and record my own music, but I’ve been missing the band context and performing more than I thought I would. In my perfect world, I’d be the only guitar player in any new situation I would join. My previous bands were 2 guitar bands, and while I love that format, I’m interested in a new experience / challenge.

EQUIPMENT
Like most guitar players, I’ve accumulated a lot of gear. That said, my main set up is Gibson type guitars into Marshall sounding amps. I’ve gotten pretty adept at using an assortment of pedals to get a range of tones out of this setup for covers. I’m not a gear snob, but I do my best to get the best sound out of my hands and equipment, and I would expect my band mates to be similarly committed.
