ABOUT

I'm looking to find some people that want to have fun playing music and are passionate about what they do. I've been using a looper ALOT to hold down rhythm and baselines so I can play lead over stuff and its fun but Im looking for other musicians who want to jam and have a good time making music. I LOVE all types of music and I love learning new stuff. My favorite thing to do is improvise on stage and create music as it inspires me. I have learned hundreds of songs and can play things pretty close to the original but I prefer to try and re-image songs and cover them with a twist. I'm looking for all musicians from all walks of life that share some of my influences and wants to work on some covers and originals.
