I've been playing guitar for about 8 years and dabbling in other instruments like piano, bass, and ukulele. I've mostly played by myself, so I'm looking for people to jam with! And if it goes well, I'd be down to try starting a band. Also, the only gigs I've done have been a couple dozen open mics. Not sure what people's definition of gig is.

I'm Still Alone, But Maybe That's For The Best
I'm Still Alone, But Maybe That's For The BestI challenged myself to make a song a day for a week, so I could distract myself from Valentine's Day. All of these songs were made from scratch in about 3 hours or less. Some of you might think it's impressive that I made these in such a short amount of time. Others might think "Oh, so that's why this is so shitty." I just hope this makes you feel something. Artwork by Natalie Bruce. Follow her on Instagram @nat_bruce for more dope artwork <3
