ABOUT

I have done live performance; I also have recording experience. I like to be laid back and have fun while creating or even doing cover songs for practice. I am open to many different types of projects, cover bands, original, tribute bands, as long as I like the music and get along well with the other musicians, it is all good. My taste in music is eclectic. The Doors, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Van Halen, George Strait, Hank Williams Jr., SRV, Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC, GNR, Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Black Sabbath, Journey, are just a few but there are too many loves and influences to name here. I would love to do vocals in a Doors tribute band, or even cover the bass in one. I do not mind traveling, but I am looking for something close to home, driving 160 miles round trip is not ideal. contact me at (two one zero - seven two seven - seven four 1 seven) text is preferred to start the conversation.
