SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Looking to join or form an acoustic band.
I am a mandolin player who takes a more guitar approach to the instrument.
I am not really into bluegrass because I can't play that fast but can really do some interesting stuff with slow and mid-tempo songs.
As for harmonica, I played in a lot of local blues and country bands in the 90's and was actually in a band that opened for Bonnie Raitt for a six-week tour of Europe. I am a very good player and a very sensitive player in that I don't crowd out the other instruments.
I have vocal ability and sang a lot of harmony on gospel songs throughout my childhood and teen years. Practice always helps.
I also am learning the lap steel and I am currently building my own.
