Band to Join.

ABOUT

Guitarist/Bassist looking to join a gigging group, start a new project, or just fill-in a sub list. Been playing guitar most my life (mostly rhythm with some solo/riff abilities), but switched over to Bass for my most recent cover projects. Most recently, I've been playing lead guitar/background fill for a singer/songwriter at local breweries & bars.
I enjoy music theory although much...much of it is over my head.
I like Rock, Indie, Alternative, Metal, Pop, Classic Rock...you name it, as long as it has a catchy melody. Depends on the day.
Bands I've played in have ranged from Rock Covers, Pop, to Acoustic/Indie.
