ABOUT

I am an intermediate guitar player. I'm good with rhythm and fingerstyle, and am starting to foray into lead. I have a good folk voice, and can comfortably cover alto and (almost but not quite) soprano.

I'm putting together an acoustic set of songs that are mostly darkwave, folk, and other oddities. I am looking for another intermediate level guitarist (ideally female) who is interested in this and would like to work toward playing a live set. I'm thinking we could switch off between rhythm and lead, and come up with vocal harmonies.

My musical interests are pretty specific. I love darkwave, new wave, post punk, freak folk, and other less popular genres. I don't really care for punk, country, reggae, blues, or pop.

I'm hoping to connect with others who are also intermediate level musicians. In other words, you have some good skills but not a ton of experience. I've played with total beginners and those way beyond my level, and am thinking it'd be the most constructive and comfortable for all involved if we can kind of figure it out together.
