ABOUT

Guitarist/Singer looking for a Band and/or Musicians to do Alice in Chains, Mad Season covers. My singing voice is very similar to that of the late Layne Staley's, and my guitar playing is capable of pretty much any level of competency.

I'd like to play some area clubs (for the fun of it), but just getting together for the sake of playing is okay too. I lean toward acoustic stuff, but can shred as needed!

I'm the former guitarist/singer of the following local bands; Battery Park (1990-92), Deviation (1992-94), and Mindscape (1994-98).
Drop me line if your interested in getting together or if you have an mp3 of your music you'd like to share.
