SEEKING
Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Piano.ABOUT
I am putting together a band in the DMV (District of Columbian, Maryland, Virginia) to play clubs, business events, outdoors in the summmer, etc etc. Renewing post-pandemic.
I will be lead vocalist. I also play diatonic harmonica very well for Blues, Jazz and a variety of popular music genres. The concept is a mix of tunes that are bluesy jazz and jazzy blues. (From Miles Davis' All Blues to Swing tunes by BB King etc.)
