ABOUT

"HEY MAN, WE'RE GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER !....."
Been playing since I was 12, self taught. I love writing, recording, playing live.... covers and originals ! And working with others creating new music !
I'd love to get with some good musicians and be rock stars, doing what I love !
I love playing covers, originals, and just playing man !

I like a wide variety of music, and listed some of my many favorite influences below. What's most important to me, is that the music sounds great, and everybody is having fun !

I don't care if I join an existing band, or just slowly pool together some good players... as long as we all have an equal say and input. Call anytime 9am-10pm and leave a message with your phone # if I don't pick up.
