ABOUT

I am the former lead guitar player for Faith In The Fallen. We were an original hard rock band from the southwestern suburbs of Chicago. Our sound was a mix of several bands like Metallica/Alter Bridge/Tool/Godsmack with a touch of 90's bands like Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam at times. Bands that we shared the stage with include The Pat Travers Band, Hinder, Trapt, Enuff Z'Nuff, Lillian Axe, Tantric, Dangerous Toys, Faster Pussycat, Grim Reaper, Gemini Syndrome, Wayland, Krash Karma, super guitar shredder Angel Vivaldi and many others. As a solo instrumental guitar player, I've opened for Bumblefoot, Michael Angelo Batio, Dave Shankle (Manowar) and Chicago's premier progressive rock band The Cyberiam.

Looking to create a hard rock/metal project that performs original material, but with a healthy mix of covers as well. Wouldn't mind including a few instrumentals as well, again, both original and cover song material. Think hard rock, a little classic metal/modern metal (no growling, death/grind/whatever core), maybe some hard rocking blues, and maybe a touch of funk thrown in at times. Not looking to be in a cover/tribute band at this time. Need advanced bass player, lead/rhythm guitarist,drummer and hopefully a keyboard player. Contact me (815) 531-7269
