ABOUT

I am a singer, rhythm player, looking for lead guitar, bass and drums. Covers and originals, more originals as we write. I've been playing in an acoustic duo, and solo for about 15 years. Former lead vocals and lead/rhythm guitar at Dirty over Thirty, former vocals/rhythm guitar with TC Davis Band (formerly The Sparrows)
As for covers this is the type of stuff I'm looking to do..and if you've seen me play, I've only ever done one of these songs, all much different from my acoustic stuff....so don't think you've heard it before.

Lucero - Anjalee

Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit - Go It Alone

I have PA but practice space is occupied by the mother in law at the moment haha. Not exactly looking to "make it" but I wouldn't be averse to it if we start writing great stuff.....open to any ideas when writing as I consider myself mediocre at writing and playing at best. Wanna have some fun, and do it louder than just acoustic. I don't have much problem booking shows, as I'm lucky enough to count most of the great local acts among my friends, and I'm even luckier that they bring me out to share the stage with them on a pretty regular basis.

My work schedule (rotating shifts) means I'll only be able to play 2 weekends outta the month usually, but exceptions can be made. 1 week out of the month I'm unavailable for practice, working 3-11's

SOOOOOOO if you're looking to play something OTHER than the same old classic rock covers, with someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously (read as "no frontman syndrome").....look me up.
