Herb Boers + Musician in Wakefield, MA

SEEKING

ABOUT

Solid, seasoned, versatile guitar player with backing & occasional lead vocals seeking a band or bands or interesting musical projects in the Boston area. I love to wail now and then but more importantly I love to serve the song and the ensemble and to channel the style the music calls for. I appreciate and advocate good preparation and productive rehearsal time, and putting the music first.
