ABOUT

Been playing on and off my whole life pretty much. Haven't played seriously in about 5 years and I'm pretty rusty in certain areas but with a little work I'd like to put some songs together, polish em up and play out this summer. Last summer I played with my buddy who played acoustic guitar while I mostly played banjo. I moved to the Indy area in January and have been playing with a rock band ever since. We play every Monday and Thursday night. We're doing ok but these guys mostly just wanna jam on whatever groove we just happen to come up with at the moment for an hour which is fun and all but I'm looking to put some songs together and get them down tight and get all polished up. I started this project as a lead guitarist, we had a female vocalist but she wasn't working out so for the last month I've been singing lead vocals and playing piano mostly. I still play guitar on a few songs cause I gotta rock out every now and then lol. I consider myself a utility player, I'm flexible and can fill gaps on different songs with different instruments. Not saying for sure I'm going to leave my current project but I'm at the point now that I wouldn't mind seeing what else is out there. Thanks for checking me out☺️🤘👍
