Lead Guitar, Drums, Steel guitar.ABOUT
Mature musician who still loves to play and sign music. Been down the road with a band and enjoyed it. I did not enjoy the time spent setting up and tearing down of equipment,
I would like to develop a small group (2-4) musicians that would like to collaborate with each others musical skill set. Small venues where time is spent playing and making music.
Not a paying member to Band Mix. Workday evenings and some weekends available. Reach out to me jbackergtbizclass if interested in getting together to see if our musical skill sets blend well together.
