ABOUT

Professional working musician who has played in bands throughout the Pacific Northwest and now based in Pittsburgh. Currenty the lead guitarist for Outside Eliza. The band is a 4 piece as it is. We currently have openings for musicians interested in filling positions as needed with the potential of becoming permanent if the fit is undeniable and beneficial for everyone involved. We are currently trying to fill Piano/organ/keys and a Lap/Pedal Steel player who can also be a utility musician. We have consistently been booking regular quality venues since 2019, recording with a top flight producer and audio engineer, and have a mountain of backlogged original material. This is not a hobby, this is a serious project though we enjoy ourselves and love what we do. Having said that, we need individuals who are available for both studio time and shows when booked. Labeling your music is terrible but necessary so I'll say that we write in the Alt-country/Americana branch of the tree of music. We're expanding our sonic landscape more than where we had been in the past.
