Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Upright bass.ABOUT
Interested in forming a Gypsy Jazz (Django) Jam in the east end of the North Fork of Long Island, NY.
I am an experienced and versatile fiddle/violin player living in Shelter Island, NY. I've recently been looking to join or form an acoustic or acoustic/electric band with high-quality musicians in the area. I have been playing fiddle for many years in bands ranging from Celtic to Bluegrass to Cajun/Zydeco to Originals and Grateful Dead covers. I am a strong improvisor in almost any type of music, and I have played many of the major festivals in the area, including the Philadelphia Folk Festival. I also sing well and have a good stage presence.
