ABOUT

lead guitarist and singer need a drummer and hopefully a bass player to play mostly original songs and some covers.
Contact me here or directly if you’re interested 630-362-8875 I write a lot of music and want to experiment with unique structures and sounds and would love to have co-writers but you dont have to write songs if you dont want. Im not tied to just straight forward rock n roll, I want to expand and nothing is off the table as long as its sincerely inspired. I just need a committed musician to have that connection with who wants to play the same kind of music and, given the opportunity, is willing to drop everything to travel the country and play shows and basically be living in a car on the road and kinda be poor and homeless for a little while. Also like posting videos and recording. I have my own studio setup that we can do this in and you can hear some of my songs on my YT channel. Currently I play all instruments and sing all vox on my recordings. Willing to a join an established band too if only to play some gigs.
