SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Background Singer.ABOUT
I am looking for a serious, dedicated band. You have to have had "the dream" at some point and worked hard so you'd be ready when it inevitably happened. When I was in my 20s I was on the road for 7 years. I scaled it back when my son came around but tried to hang around with songwriters as well as being a "weekend warrior". I know that it's hard to play every weekend now but I'm looking for people that are in it for the music not just for free beer and a Monday morning post.

Influences
I've been influenced by everything I've ever covered. I started out as a hairband guy but it all kind of morphed when I heard Blood Sugar Sex Majik by the Chili Peppers. I appreciate anything from Elvis to Lamb of God (even though I don't want to play either extreme). Has to have the BIG groove!

EQUIPMENT
A pedal board that's way to big. A Marshall JCM 900 combo and a modded Fender Hotrod Deluxe that I sometimes run in stereo. I use a power brake on the Fender because it's freaking loud (unless playing that loud is good. I'm certainly not opposed to it!). I record some stuff with a digitech RP 1000. I have a strat plus that's usually my go to and a few frankenstein guitars that are cool. I also have a Walden acoustic and a Yamaha 12 string.
